by building a local copy of libsqlite3 with OS X installers rather than
depending on the wide range of versions supplied with various OS X releases.

to avoid curses.unget_wch bug present in older versions of ncurses such as
those shipped with OS X.

- Remove OS X installer and Mac/Makefile dependencies on /Developer which
  no longer exists with Xcode 4; the referenced tools have been installed
  into the usr/bin tool root since Xcode 3.
- Support adding the SDK usr/bin tool root to the installer's PATH via the
  SDK_TOOLS_BIN environment variable.

Also add tests in the OS X installer build to ensure that the desired
dynamic linking with an optional newer Tcl/Tk in /Library actually
happens.

different parsing of the Makefile by distutils.sysconfig and
sysconfig in the case when an intermediate config vars, used to
construct PY_CFLAGS or PY_LDFLAGS, has a trailing space character.
In this case, the OS X installer build script was leaving a
trailing space in the OPT and LDFLAGS config vars.  The space is not
significant and it's not worth toying with the Makefile parsing.

build paths from configuration variables cached in _sysconfigdata.py, as
is already done for the installed Makefile.  This avoids a distuils test
case failure in test_ldshared_value.

properly skip uncompilable files and to compile existing
files in site-packages if reinstalling.  Also, no longer
attempt to install a documentation link in /Developer
as that no longer necessarily exists with Xcode 4.3+.

ensure "make install" creates symlinks in --prefix bin for the "-32"

  #10844: update copyright years in Mac plists.
........

Both the Makefile and the script that is used on OSX to create the binary
installer refer to the directory containing the Makefile using the name
'config'. This name was changed with the new ABI (with default build flags
it is now named config-3.2m).  This patch ensures that both files use the
correct name.

The build-installer.py script contains one other change: it now tests for the
Tcl/Tk framework version by looking at the 'Current' symlink in the framework
instead of runnning a script. This makes it possible to verify the version
that is in the SDK that's used during the build instead of the version that
is installed on the system.

Builds are not yet fully supported on Python 3 as some parts
of the build process (like the documentation build chain)
are still dependent on Python 2.
