Summary: "Macintosh" references in the docs need to be checked.

Initial Comment:
As of 2.4 Python no longer runs on MacOS9 or earlier. We need to 
go through all the documentation loooking for references to 
"macintosh", "mac", "apple", "macos" and such to check whether 
these references are still valid.

OK, applied to both 2.5 and 2.4 .  Attached is a text file with the CVS 
commit log; too many files to list the new rev. #s individually.

I will review it, I just can't make any guarantee as to when I will get to 
it.

Oh yes, lest we forget: if the patches are accepted they should also be 
applied to the 2.4 maintainance branch.

Brett,
can I coerce you into reviewing this patch? If not assign back to me and 
I'll find another victim...

"Macintosh" is fine as a reference, but we need to check that the tekst is 
actually relevant to OSX. There may be lots of things that can go, 
referring to non-virtual memory or :-separated filenames, or resource 
forks, or whatever. Or, at the very least, it may need rewording.

As to darwin: I wouldn't cater for that. Technically it's nice to support it, 
but I'd be surprised if there were a 1000 people out there actually 
running it.

Should we change the mentions to "OS X" or "darwin"?  It would help 
remove any possible misunderstanding of OS 9 support and make sure 
we caught all doc mentions.  Could also help specify and difference 
between Darwin and OS X explicitly.
