Some third-party projects, such as matplotlib and PIL/Pillow,
depended on being able to build with Tcl and Tk frameworks in
/Library/Frameworks. They were unable to build with the built-in
Tcl/Tk and/or execute correctly.
64-bit/32-bit installer for 10.6+. It is no longer necessary
to install a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 to work around the
problems in the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5 shipped in OS X 10.6
and later releases.

#10907: Warn OS X 10.6 IDLE users to use ActiveState Tcl/Tk 8.5,
rather than the currently problematic Apple-supplied one,
when running with the 64-/32-bit installer variant.

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).
