Description

I'm running into a situation where I have a library that supports both iOS & OSX, but they give you 2 frameworks separately that are named the same. It occurred to me that using frameworks could be simplified in the PG by treating them like libs by having a "frameworks" folder in the lib, say:

libs/
    MyLib/
        include
        frameworks/
            ios/
                MyLib.framework
            osx/
                MyLib.framework
        lib

Research direction

The proposal names the libs/MyLib layout and a new frameworks/ios and frameworks/osx structure, but no source files or tests. Start by reviewing how the project generator handles libraries and platform-specific frameworks; done would require an agreed structure and verified support for both framework variants.
