OSX framework build process. Things fixed/modified:
- the filesystem case-sensitivity test now works for builds outside
the source directory
- various other fixes for building outside the source directory
- python.app now has a target in the main Makefile
- WASTE and AquaTk are found more automatically

crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible
with each other. Version checking is done from highest version to lowest.

modules, distutils does not understand that the build version of the
source tree is needed.
This patch fixes distutils.sysconfig to understand that the running
Python is part of the build tree and needs to use the appropriate
"shape" of the tree. This does not assume anything about the current
directory, so can be used to build 3rd-party modules using Python's
build tree as well.
This is useful since it allows us to use a non-installed debug-mode
Python with 3rd-party modules for testing. It as the side-effect that
set_python_build() is no longer needed (the hack which was added to
allow distutils to be used to build the "standard" extension modules).
This closes SF patch #547734.

I guess that I would like to complain and reopen this
issue. :,) I cannot build a Python 2.2.1 with threads
under Cygwin without this patch even though I'm using
Michael's static _socket workaround. This is due to the
Cygwin fork() problem with DLL base address conflicts
that are triggered by importing many modules during the
setup.py run. Similar problems can also be caused by
regrtest.py.
Even after my rebase patch is accepted into Cygwin's
setup.exe, I feel this patch will still be necessary.
This is because during the build process, the shared
extensions (i.e., DLLs) will not be rebased yet. Hence,
the potential for DLL base address conflicts will exist.
One way to obviate this patch is to push the rebase
functionality into Cygwin's ld. Unfortunately, I don't
think this is likely to happen. Another possible way,
is to use the yet to be defined and implemented unload
module functionality:

helper module _ssl.
The support for the RAND_* APIs in _ssl is now only enabled
for OpenSSL 0.9.5 and up since they were added in that
release.
Note that socketmodule.* should really be renamed to _socket.* --
unfortunately, this seems to lose the CVS history of the file.
Please review and test... I was only able to test the header file
chaos in socketmodule.c/h on Linux. The test run through fine
and compiles don't give errors or warnings.
WARNING: This patch does *not* include changes to the various
non-Unix build process files.
[ #433775 ] module build dir first in test import

I think this also fixes some bug in the tracker about not searching
directories that don't exist, but I can't find the report :(

appears possible, but with the threat that the distutils becomes more
magical ("complex").

available (ssh connection, console mode, MacOSX Server). This fixes bug
#466907.
A result of this mod is that the default 8bit encoding on OSX is now ASCII,
for the time being. Also, the extension modules that need the Carbon
framework now explicitly include it in setup.py.

later. This assumes that zlib.h has a line of the form
#define ZLIB_VERSION "1.1.3"
This solves the problem where a zlib installation is found but it is
an older version -- this would break the build, while a better
solution is to simply ignore that zlib installation.
