Someday Tkinter and IDLE will work nicely OOTB on OSX!

AquaTk's File open/save doesn't handle unix paths well. Since python
on Darwin (a.k.a. MachoPython) uses unix paths natively, IDLE's Open
and Save methods don't work. I believe this is posted as a bug in Tk's
Tracker, but it could be fixed in Python code too.
