On Unix often /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include is used.
But you should read the developer docs - i guess Apple will tell us  
here where
the correct location should be...

I think this can only be empty IF we put the DLL'S into the correct  
location Apple
assumes for them.
Otherwise the developer must add this path to the linker path - LDPATH

Yes - it is called "install_name_tool"
Just execute "man install_name_tool" to see an explanation for all  
parameters

One important point:
"install_name_tool" ONLY can change the location/names if they are  
equal or shorter
in length then the original ones! To avoid problems we must link ALL  
our products with
the linker option:
"headerpad_max_install_names"
(Note: ICU already links with this option)

Yes.
