[PyQt] Tools for compiling sip/PyQt on MacOS

[William Kyngesburye]

configure and compile on OSX works just like on other OSs.

One problem with SIP on Leopard is that it wants to install in the  
Python framework.  This isn't a good idea with the system Python.  I  
use this configuration on Leopard:

python configure.py -n -d /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages \
-b /usr/local/bin -e /usr/local/include -v /usr/local/share/sip \
-s MacOSX10.5.sdk

This gets it all in more appropriate places.

For the python.org Python package, on Tiger or Leopard, you just need  
to configure the site-packages and SDK, and let the rest default to  
folders in the python framework.

Once you get SIP installed, PyQt configure just needs to know the site- 
packages, and on Leopard the bin path (to find SIP).
