[Pythonmac-SIG] py2app architecture problem and System Python question

[Tom MacWright]

Not being able to redistribute parts of system python is totally
understandable - it's not a very well-documented limitation, however. Here's
a patch applied to head that describes this in the 'Building for deployment'
section, and also corrects a misspelling in build_app.py that appears in
py2app -h help pages.
