[Eric] eric5 on MacOS X

After a lot of trouble I've managed to get eric5 running on Mac OS X 10.6.4
with python3. I had to create a 64-bit build of python 3.1.2 (which involved
building readline as well) which I can make available for others if there is
interest.

It runs well however I have the following criticisms:

- There is apparently no autohide button for the horizontal/vertical
toolbars as on windows?
- External tools such as Qt Designer don't launch (probably a path issue, I
haven't spent much time investigating)
- Installation litters /usr/[local]/bin with a bunch of eric5-* scripts. It
would be nice to have a cleaner install. This would be nice with the windows
version also.

Thanks,
Ben K
