python executable
The __os_install_macro defines some post-processing activities during an rpm
build; one of the scripts it calls is brp-python-bytecompile, which can take
an argument: the python executable with which to byte-compile .py files in the
package payload.
In some older versions of rpm (e.g. in RHEL 6), this invocation doesn't pass
in an argument, and brp-python-bytecompile defaults to using /usr/bin/python,
which can lead to the .py files being byte-compiled for the wrong version of
python. This has been fixed in later versions of rpm by passing in
%{__python} as an argument to brp-python-bytecompile.
Workaround this by detecting if __os_install_post has a 0-argument invocation
of brp-python-bytecompile, and if so generating an equivalent macro that has
the argument, and explicitly provide the new definition within the specfile.

Fix ./configure to provide a more sensible default for
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. Currently the default is the minimum OS X level
that supports the universal arch option, typically 10.4, even when no
universalsdk is selected. This causes various desirable features that
depend on later OS X versions, like libedit readline support, to be
omitted from the build. A more complete solution would take into account
the SDK that is being used and better tailor the universal arch options.
For now, change the existing tests to only apply to build systems of 10.5
and earlier; for 10.6 and later, use the build system version as the
default deployment target if the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment
variable is not provided.
