Fixes Homebrew/homebrew#2709. By forcing dylibs to have an install_name id that is the HOMEBREW_PREFIX path, ie. the symlink’s path. Stuff that links to these dylibs will use this id and thus by immune to upgrades of underlying libraries. Thus whatever keg is "current" ie. linked, will be the library that is used by the tool. This fix is not retroactive. So there will still be breakage for existing installations of stuff. The fix_install step in install is moved after the link step as the symlinking is required to determine the eventual ids for each dylib.

Quick Install to /usr/local
This script will prompt for confirmation before it does anything:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"
Afterwards, install Xcode.
Umm… I thought I could install it anywhere?
Indeed, you can. Refer to our complete installation instructions.
Dude! Just give me a one-liner!
Okay then, but please note this installs Homebrew as root and we recommend against that.
curl -LsSf https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/tarball/master | sudo /usr/bin/tar xvz -C/usr/local --strip 1
But what packages are available?
Before installing you can browse the Formula folder on GitHub.
After installing, you can use brew search to find packages or brew server
to browse packages off of a local web server.
