[issue4064] distutils.util.get_platform() is wrong for universal builds on macosx

[Ronald Oussoren]

New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com>:

When using a universal build of python on macosx 
distutils.util.get_platform should use "fat" for the machine 
architecture, instead of the architecture of the current machine.

That's not what's currently happening:

$ python26 -c 'from distutils.util import get_platform; print 
get_platform()'
macosx-10.3-ppc
$
