Why are you building Qt as no-framework? I thought Qt had to be built as 
a framework to build on OS X.

I've found the easiest way to build PyQt is to link it against the 
binary intaller from Trolltech. It saves you the trouble of building Qt, 
and PyQt builds fine (after you build sip et al. first).
