This checkin breaks the OS X installer builds, see for instance:

http://buildbot.python.org/all/builders/bolen-dmg-3.x/builds/513

I've opened Issue20644 to address updating the OS X installer build 
process and buildbot to deal with this change.  I imagine it also 
affects the Windows installer build.  This change should not be 
cherry-picked into 3.4.x until these issues are addressed.
