This patch adds a new configure argument on OSX:
--with-universal-archs=[32-bit|64-bit|all]
When used with the --enable-universalsdk option this controls which
CPU architectures are includes in the framework. The default is 32-bit,
meaning i386 and ppc. The most useful alternative is 'all', which includes
all 4 CPU architectures supported by MacOS X (i386, ppc, x86_64 and ppc64).
This includes limited support for the Carbon bindings in 64-bit mode as well,
limited because (a) I haven't done extensive testing and (b) a large portion
of the Carbon API's aren't available in 64-bit mode anyway.
I've also duplicated a feature of Apple's build of python: setting the
environment variable 'ARCHFLAGS' controls the '-arch' flags used for building
extensions using distutils.
TARGET_API_MAC_OS8 (or !TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON) is gone. Also some
TARGET_API_MAC_OSX conditional code is gone, because it is no longer
used on OSX-only Python (only in MacPython-OS9).
some of the more compilcated cases (CF, Res) haven't been done yet. Also,
various types should inherit from each other (anything with an as_Resource
method should be a Resource subtype, the CF types should become one family).
descriptors in stead of manual getattr hooks to get at attributes
of the objects.
For Qd I have in stead gotten rid of most of the attribute access
in favor of the carbon-style accessor methods (with the exception
of visRgn, to be done later), and of the Carbon.Qd.qd global object,
for which accessor functions are also available.
For List I have fixed the fact that various methods were incorrectly
generated as functions.
CF is untouched: PEP252 doesn't allow "poor-mans-inheritance" with
basechain, so it will have to wait for PEP253 support.
