Summary: Direct framework linking for MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET < 10.3

Initial Comment:
It is not a good idea to use -framework (even with -F) if it is 
necessary to link to a less-than-current framework.  For Python, 
this is the case.

This patch to configure.in should (in theory) resolve this issue.  
Note that since only the .in is patched, autoconf must be run after 
application.

I have only tested the 10.3 scenario, but will comment as soon as 
the 10.2 build has finished and I've tested it.

Looks good. Checked in as configure.in 1.480, configure 1.467.

Will backport to 2.4 and 2.3.
