I see what you mean.

We did have framework in v1

Then you are right, framework cause problems if you do cross-platform
library. All is okay with framework if you do only it.

Problem is that framework require
    #include <Franework/file.h>  style.

But e.g. Windows need notmal style.

To resolve this in v1 we did use #ifdef for all headers in each pubilic
file. This was nightmare.
