Dunno: I think that at least with MacPython (as in CFM-based) the default might
have to remain unpackaged for a while?

Even more major: how about :Mac:Lib and other assorted modules? A package named
"Mac"?

Make under unix already runs a setup.py, so we could perhaps add a "darwin1"
switch in it?

Btw: since Waste is carbonized, could it be available under Unix, too?
