BTW, I want to thank you for making that kind of effort.  I know it 
takes quite awhile to build Qt from source!

Anyway, I've temporarily given up on using a custom-compiled, 
relocatable Qt and just want to get PyQt built.  I'm wondering if it's 
possible to build sip and PyQt within a virtualenv linked to a 
Python.framework build?

I notice there is code in sip to try and prevent that, but I didn't see 
any comments about why it won't work.  So for grins, I tried commenting 
out the check for "Python.framework" in sys.executable and building 
sip.  It builds just fine.  I packaged it in a relocatable egg, and 
added a post-install script to fixup the _pkg_config dictionary in 
sipconfig.py when the egg is installed.  There don't seem to be any 
other paths to fix up in any other text file, nor any lib references in 
macho headers.

I then tried to build PyQt with the following configuration command:

python configure.py --trace --verbose --confirm-license
  -b /Users/dpeterson/py/qtbuild/tmp/PyQt-4.5.1-1/install/bin
  -d /Users/dpeterson/py/qtbuild/tmp/PyQt-4.5.1-1/install
  -p /Users/dpeterson/py/qtbuild/tmp/PyQt-4.5.1-1/install/plugin
  -v /Users/dpeterson/py/qtbuild/tmp/PyQt-4.5.1-1/install/sip

which runs just fine.   But the actual build dies with the following 
error output.  Could this be related to trying to build PyQt within a 
virtualenv?  Or is it simply something wrong with my sip install?  Or is 
there some mismatch between PyQt 4.5.1, sip 4.8.1, and Qt 4.5.1 on OS X?
