Also, stop determining Unicode sizes with PyString_GET_SIZE.

(calling ftell(stdin) doesn't seem defined).  So we won't test errors
from ftell unless we can do it portably.

ftell(3) on BSD doesn't set errno even for ttys and returns useless
values.

POSIX is enabled.  This prevents the toolbox glue, all of Carbon,
and various other non-POSIX features from compiling.  The POSIX
symbols are  still used by default, so turning off the #define
doesn't hurt.

Additionally, linker flags have changed for Darwin 8, and are
different for Darwin 8/gcc4 (default) and Darwin 8/gcc3.3.

MacOSX: if we cannot use -undefined dynamic_lookup (such as on 10.2 or earlier)
we link extension directly against the dynamic library in the framework in
stead of against the framework. This will fix building extensions for 2.3
after 2.4 has been installed too.

to make using "-undefined dynamic_lookup" for linking extensions more
automatic on 10.3 and later. So if we're on that platform and
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is not set we now set it to the current OSX
version during configure. Additionally, distutils will pick up the
configure-time value by default.

[ 960406 ] unblock signals in threads

although the changes do not correspond exactly to any patch attached to
that report.

Non-main threads no longer have all signals masked.

A different interface to readline is used.

The handling of signals inside calls to PyOS_Readline is now rather
different.

These changes are all a bit scary!  Review and cross-platform testing
much appreciated.

of hard linking against the framework).

If $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set, and >= 10.3, during configure we
setup extensions to link with dynamic lookup. We also record the
value in the Makefile.

Distutils checks whether a value for MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET was
recorded in the Makefile, and if it was insists that the current
value matches.

This is only a partial fix because it only applies to 2.4, and the
"two python problem" exists with Python 2.3 shipped with MacOSX 10.3,
which we have no influence over.

Backported to 2.3.
