+# On Mac OS X, frameworks are linked to the system CoreFoundation but
+# dynamic libraries built with nix use a pure version of CF this
+# causes segfaults for binaries that depend on it at runtime.  This
+# can be solved in two ways.
+# 1. Rewrite references to the pure CF using this setup hook, this
+# works for the simple case but this can still cause problems if other
+# dependencies (eg. python) use the pure CF.
+# 2. Create a wrapper for the binary that sets DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH to
+# /System/Library/Frameworks.  This will make everything load the
+# system's CoreFoundation framework while still keeping the
+# dependencies pure for other packages.
