[swift-build-dev] [swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0063: SwiftPM System Module Search Paths

I am in favour of this proposal. It will solve an important problem faced
by swiftpm users.

Yes, system modules often require extra flags and search paths are platform
dependent. A lot of users have reported bugs in jira about this.


>         * Does this proposal fit well with the feel and direction of the
> Swift Package Manager?
>

Yes, it will improve the functionality of swiftpm


>         * How much effort did you put into your review? A glance, a quick
> reading, or an in-depth study?

I implemented the first draft of proposal and tried using GTK3 library on
OSX and Ubuntu, It works out really nice. More info about the experiment :
