* Don't use xcodebuild for building PythonLauncher, but use a normal unix
makefile. This makes it a lot easier to use the same build flags as for the
rest of python (e.g. make a universal version of python launcher)
* Convert the mac makefile-s to makefile.in-s and use configure to set makefile
variables instead of forwarding them as command-line arguments
* Add a C version of pythonw, that we you can use '#!/usr/local/bin/pythonw'
* Build IDLE.app using bundlebuilder instead of BuildApplet, that will allow
easier modification of the bundle contents later on.
until now: the inheritance of default values was the wrong way around.
This caused app bundles to get a type of "BNDL" instead of "APPL".
Apparently this is not a problem until you try to drag your app to
the dock.

- in the appropriate situation, prepend $PATH with our path instead of
setting it.
installed Python, yet include any modules not in the std lib
- reworked extension module inclusion code: put all .so files in
a subdirectory of Contents/Resources/, but more importantly,
correctly support extensions that are submodules.
- Replaced bootstrap shell script with Python script. This means
standalone apps built with bundlebuilder will not work on MacOS < 10.1,
since we depend (again) on an installed Python.
- Add a hack to set sys.executable; the bootstrap script does os.execve()
with an argv[0] that's different from the actual Python executable
(it has to match the CFBundleExecutable entry in the Info.plist to make
the app work both from the Finder and the command line, and it has to be
the bootstrap script), yet a proper sys.executable is needed to spawn
auxiliary processes.
in MacPython-OS9 and MacPython-OSX (or the equivalent unix Python on
Mac OS X). The only items remaining in Mac/Lib are modules that are
meaningful only for MacPython-OS9 (CFM stuff, MacPython preferences
in resources, etc).
