Summary: argvemulator doesn't work on intel mac

Initial Comment:
According to a report on macpython-sig the argvemulator module doesn't 
work on intel macs due to endianness issues.

This seems to be a problem in aepack/aetypes.

The attached version of argvemulator should fix the problem by not using 
aepack and friends and was written by has.

I know to little of AppleEvents and the aepack module to actually fix this 
at this point in time.

I propose to replace argvemulator by the attached version.

The new version seems to be not entirely equivalent to the current version, I was 
using argvemulator in the .app wrapper for IDLE and that now behaves 
differently: before it opened quite slowly (maybe just due to my machine), now it 
doesn't make progress until the first time you quit IDLE.
