the compiler should use an SDK but that SDK is not installed, hopefully reducing
some confusion.

This patchs makes it possible to create a universal build on OSX 10.4 and use
the result to build extensions on 10.3. It also makes it possible to override

This turned out to be a reimplementation of patch 1193190.
