Ronald Oussoren 580c7fec67 Fix for issue #2573: Can't change the framework name on OS X builds
This introduces a new configure option: --with-framework-name=NAME
(defaulting to 'Python'). This allows you to install several copies
of the Python framework with different names (such as a normal build
and a debug build).

This package will install MacPython $FULL_VERSION for Mac OS X
$MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET for the following 
architecture(s): $ARCHITECTURES.

Separate installers are available for older versions
of Mac OS X, see the homepage, below.

Installation requires approximately $INSTALL_SIZE MB of disk
space, ignore the message that it will take zero bytes.

You must install onto your current boot disk, even
though the installer does not enforce this, otherwise
things will not work.

MacPython consists of the Python programming language
interpreter, plus a set of programs to allow easy
access to it for Mac users (an integrated development
environment, an applet builder), plus a set of pre-built 
extension modules that open up specific Macintosh technologies 
to Python programs (Carbon, AppleScript, Quicktime, more).

The installer puts the applications in "Python $VERSION" 
in your Applications folder, command-line tools in
/usr/local/bin and the underlying machinery in
$PYTHONFRAMEWORKINSTALLDIR.
