Bummer. _scproxy was introduced in 2.6.3 to fix a crash in the ctypes  
based code it replaces, as well as very vague failures in the same  
code on OSX 10.5 Server on PPC machines.

Luckily the fix is easy enough: move some code in setup.py from the  
block that checks for "not --disable-toolbox-glue", the _scproxy  
module has no dependencies on the toolbox glue.

The attached patch should fix the issue,

Ronald
