Ned Deily b07b730e06 Issue #14346: Fix some typos in the Mac/README file.
(Patch by Dionysios Kalofonos)

Ronald Oussoren 01d149fc1f Fix for issue #3646: with this patch it is possible to do a
framework install of Python in your home directory (on OSX):

   $ configure --enable-framework=${HOME}/Library/Frameworks
   $ make && make install

Without this patch the framework would get installed just fine,
but 'make install' would try to install the application bundles
and command-line tools outside the user's home, which doesn't work
for non-admin users (and is bad form anyway).

building a universal Python. Based on issue7679.

Ronald Oussoren 92919a66d2 Issue #6834: replace the implementation for the 'python' and 'pythonw' executables on OSX.
The previous implementation used execv(2) to run the real interpreter, which means that
you cannot use the arch(1) tool to select the architecture you want to use for a
universal build because that only affects the python/pythonw wrapper and not the actual
interpreter.

The new version uses posix_spawnv with a number of OSX-specific options that ensure that
the real interpreter is started using the same CPU architecture as the wrapper, and that
means that 'arch -ppc python' now actually works.

I've also changed the way that the wrapper looks for the framework: it is now linked to
the framework rather than hardcoding the framework path. This should make it easier to
provide pythonw support in tools like virtualenv.

Ronald Oussoren 9ebd242fbb * Update the Mac/README file. Add the list of OSX-specific configure options
to that README file with some explanation.

* Be more strict in the configure script: complain loudly when the user has
  specified invalid combinations of OSX-specific configure arguments.

  The error message refers to the Mac/README file for more information.
