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 = raw_input('prompt: ')
print x

* Save the script

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

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.
