The components can go anywhere listed in OFBundleRegistryConfig's
"SearchPaths" (defined in OmniWeb.app/Resources/Info-nextstep.plist).
This list includes the ~/Library/Components directory by default, so if
you install the components there OmniWeb should find it.
(Alternatively, you can put the components directly in the
OmniWeb.app/Resources directory.)
If you're using Rhapsody, you can put your frameworks in
~/Library/Frameworks. If you're using Windows, you can put the
framework executables anywhere in your PATH (just make sure the
framework resources are in ..\Frameworks).
If you're using OPENSTEP/Mach 4.2, you can't relocate the frameworks
unless you define the DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH environment variable to point
at the new location. (One way to do this is to set the environment
variable from the command line, then launch OmniWeb from the command
line. Unfortunately, it's difficult to set environment variables in
the Workspace. Maybe someone should write a Workspace bundle...)
