[PyKDE] SIP-4.0rc1 on Mac OS X with Fink's qt3-3.2.3

I know it's bad form to follow up my own post, but in this case,
since I have answers and good news, I'll make an exception.  ;-)

Here's the deal:  Mac OS X 10.2.8 (Jaguar) only comes with *most*
of the Python distribution.  I built "framework Python" (from
source; aka MacPython) to get the Python Framework.  MacPython
builds out of the box on 10.2.8, once I followed the extra
instructions at

    http://marc.free.net.ph/message/20031223.141119.6760aa22.html

(which say to edit Mac/OSX/Makefile to set PBXBUILD to pbxbuild
and not xcodebuild).

SIP and PyQt both built without a hitch atop my brand new
framework python.  :-)

(Well, okay one hitch.  I now have two complete and separate
Python installations, one from fink and the one I just built
myself.  At least I have a working PyQt with which to learn and
experiment; I'll optimize it later....)

Of course this is all moot under Mac OS 10.3 (Panther), which
comes with a complete python distribution, including the Python
Framework.  :-/
