[issue5514] Darwin framework libpython3.0.a is not a normal static library

Jack: could you please explain what the issue is? Unless you do so I 
will close this issue as "won't fix".

In particular: will linking with "-lpython3.0" work with this 
hypothetical future version of Xcode you're talking about? 

As mentioned before "libpythonX.Y.a" is present for compatibility with a 
number of popular 3th-party tools that have manually written makefiles 
that expect this library to be present. Making the file a symlink to the 
actual dylib in the framework seems to work as intented as the moment: 
the executable gets linked to the framework (just as if it was linked 
with "-framework Python")
