Without this patch IDLE will crash reliably on OSX when Tkinter
is linked to TkCocoa 8.5.x.

To reproduce:

* Create a new file (script.py) with the following two lines:

x = input('prompt: ')
print(x)

* Save the script

* Run the script using the F5 keyboard shortcut
  (running from the menu works fine)

The patch is a fairly crude hack, but we haven't found a better
workaround for this Tk bug yet.

On MacOSX and OpenBSD (and possibly other BSDs) "en_US.UTF-8" is a valid locale
while "en_US.UTF8" is not. As the former works on Linux as well it is better
to normalize to that value.

Without this patch python will fail to start properly when the environment
variable MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set on MacOSX and has a value that is
not compatible with the value during Python's build. This is caused by code
in sysconfig that was only meant to be used in disutils.
