Details:

The current filesystem infrastucture for frameworks is a follows:

[name].framework/Headers -> Versions/Current/Headers
[name].framework/Resources -> Versions/Current/Resources
[name].framework/Versions
[name].framework/Versions/A
[name].framework/Versions/A/Resources
[name].framework/Versions/A/Headers
[name].framework/Versions/Current -> A
[name].framework/Versions/A/[name] -> lib[name].so
[name].framework/Versions/A/lib[name].so -> lib[name].so.[version]
[name].framework/Versions/A/lib[name].so.[M] -> lib[name].so.[version]

Considering the current support for the -framework flag in gcc, this seems
reasonable. However, when one wants to emulate this flag for an aggregate
project where some elements depend on a previously built framework that's
part of the same project, it becomes tricky to refer to the correct location
for the framework  headers.

We know that framework headers will always be referred to with
"<[name]/[header].h>" in the source files. So it would only make things
easier of the generated .framework bundle would respect that too and have
/Headers/[name] instead of /Headers alone.
