In the standalone Qgis, I didn't bundle any of the programs for the  
frameworks.  Partly to keep the size down.  Partly because you'd have  
to use long paths to the programs.  And since there were problems with  
the GRASS plugin when GRASS is not installed, on Tiger, I stripped out  
the GRASS plugin.

Think of the standalone Qgis as a basic Qgis.  If you need GRASS  
support or want to use tools from the frameworks, install the full  
Qgis + frameworks.

I've been thinking about restoring the all-frameworks installer, after  
the Snow leopard transition settles, that would make installing Qgis  
(and GRASS) easier.  Possibly a GDAL bundle, leaving FreeType on its  
own.


Note: All the tools are in the GDAL framework (from installer).   
gdalbuiltvrt because available at 1.6.1, so make sure you have the  
latest GDAL.
