Added one call to Py_Main(), for OSX framework builds only, that will get the actual script to run in case we are running from an applet. If we are indeed running an applet we skip the normal option processing leaving it all to the applet code. This allows us to get use the normal python binary in the Python.app bundle, giving us all the normal command line options through PythonLauncher while still allowing Python.app to be used as the template for building applets. Consequently, pythonforbundle is gone, and Mac/Python/macmain.c isn't used on OSX anymore.

This directory contains a Makefile that will create a couple of python-related
applications (fullblown OSX .app applications, that is) in /Applications/Python,
and a hidden helper application Python.app inside the Python.framework. In addition
it has a target "installmacsubtree" that installs the relevant portions of the
Mac subtree into the Python.framework.
Minimal instructions for using the Makefile here. Also a clear statement that this is a proof-of-concept meant for people to experiment with, nothing more.

It is normally invoked indirectly through the main Makefile, as the last step
in the sequence
1. configure --enable-framework
2. make
3. make frameworkinstall
4. make osxapps

The interesting targets in the makefile are:
installmacsubtree - explained above,
dontinstallmacsubtree - Put only a .pth file into the framework (pointing to this
sourcetree), which may be easier for development,
install_all - install all three .app applications,
install_Python - install the hidden interpreter .app into the framework,
install_PythonLauncher - install the user-visible script launch helper
install_IDE - install the IDE
installunixprograms - install symlinks/scripts mimicking normal unix Python into
/usr/local.
Added a note about making sure the Lac/Lib directory is in sys.path.

Something to take note of is that the ".rsrc" files in the distribution are not
actually resource files, they're AppleSingle encoded resource files.
