'static' and 'shared'. This fixes extension building for dynamic
Pythons on MacOSX.

modules and extensions on Windows is now $PREFIX/Lib/site-packages.
Includes backwards compatibility code for pre-2.2 Pythons.  Contributed
by Paul Moore.

    I have no way of testing this.

    Add executable extension, needed to get the program name right on Win32

    Provide include_dirs argument to all calls to ._preprocess and ._compile
    Fix typo: pattern.search(pattern) should be pattern.search(line)

(This command seems to be essentially untested; should fix that...)

    libraries.  This is done by adding a .get_source_files() method,
    contributed by Rene Liebscher and slightly modified.
Remove an unused local variable spotted by PyChecker

Use construction-syntax for an exception to make the argument easier
to read.

   though 'licence' is still supported for backward-compatibility
   (Should I add a warning to get_licence(), or not bother?)

Also fixes an UnboundLocalError noticed by PyChecker

under MacOS.)

to the current Python interpreter (ie. the one used for
building/installation), even (especially!) if "/usr/bin/env" appears in
the #! line.

Rationale: installing scripts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" is asking for
trouble, because
  1) it might pick the wrong interpreter (not the one used to
     build/install the script)
  2) it doesn't work on all platforms (try it on IRIX 5, or on Linux
     with command-line options for python)
  3) "env" might not be in /usr/bin

do it back in copy_file() (not at module level).

    distutils.util.get_platform() problems caused by the cruft contained

- compile() didn't return a (empty) list of objects. Fixed.
- the various _fix_xxx_args() methods weren't called (are they new or did I overlook them?). Fixed.

Fixed -D emulation for symbols with a value, as specified with the define_macros Extension argument.

but it still can't have any syntax errors.  Went a little too fast
there, Jack? :-)

Made distutils understand the MacPython Carbon runtime model. Distutils will build for the runtime model you are currently using for the interpreter.

argument "wb", while the only valid modes are "r", "w" or "a".  Fix
this by changing the mode to "w".
