[issue11046] darwin/MacOS X setup.py hack

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

The OSX build process is...hairy.  Windows likewise (because you have to use MS tools).  Elsewhere, it is pretty straightforward :)

The 10.4 deployment target is the one we want.  You can build for a 10.4 deployment target even if you are using a later SDK (IIUC).  More that that I don't know, but I'm adding our Mac experts to the nosy list in case there is something here that's useful, and so they can correct me if I'm wrong :)

There should probably be more notes about this in the Mac/README.
