Do you mean that your private frameworks aren't on the search 
path by default? I haven't tried this yet, but I was assuming 
that if you link with "-framework Foo" and you then copy this 
Foo framework from /Library/Frameworks/Foo.framework to 
/Applications/MyApp.app/Contents/Frameworks/Foo.framework it 
would find it automatically.

I know that dyld *does* find frameworks in the current directory 
if you add "-Wl,-F." to your link command line. When I'm 
building Python I link against Python.framework. At build time 
this is simply a subdirectory of the current directory, and the 
resulting executable works fine with that. Later, when 
everything has been installed, the same executable runs just as 
fine with the framework in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework.

Hmmm, long paragraph, but what I wanted to suggest is try adding 
"-Wl,-F../FrameWorks" to your link line.
