I'm not quite sure why writing

FRAMEWORKS += PreferencePanes

would be particularly simpler than writing

ADDITIONAL_GUI_LIBS += -lPreferencePanes

:-)

... unless what you are really asking for is that you want PreferencePanes
to be converted to '-framework PreferencePanes' on Apple and to
'-lPreferencePanes' on GNUstep in which case we already have

ADDITIONAL_NATIVE_LIBS += PreferencePanes

which does exactly that.  Presumably this is what you were expecting
FRAMEWORKS += ... to do ?

Thanks
