All right, you're on, so let's assume nobody wants to learn anything, 
and let's say I used /usr/bin as an example, but I'd really like to 
track down all my java .jar stuff, and try to cobble together a new 
xml parser without having redundant bs all over the underbelly of the 
Mac, ok?

So, what's the trivial method of adding the subsytem to Spotlight?

Just kidding I can find anything on here in nanoseconds with Xfile, 
so big deal, but why the 'conspiracy' to keep the real system out of 
sight?

And since you seem to have logical insight on your side of the fence, 
what exactly is the rationale for hiding mach-o executables but 
giving mr & mrs. average user access to little things like 
/System/Library/Frameworks, again, exactly?

Thanks :)
