When building on OS X configure senses whether the
build filesystem is case sensitive or not and if not
builds "python.exe" instead of "python" to avoid
conflicting with the "Python" dir.

There are some things in doing the framework build that
expect to have "python.exe" so i fyou ar building on a
case-sensitive filesystem and only have "python" then
they fail.  Perhaps configure should make a python.exe
--> python link.

Robin, could you give an example of something that fails?

Sorry, I meant to do that but must have been sidetracked...
 Here is the first one:

./python.exe /projects/Python-2.3a1/Mac/scripts/cachersrc.py
-v
/projects/_py/install/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/plat-mac
/projects/_py/install/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/Mac/Tools
make[1]: ./python.exe: Command not found
make[1]: *** [installmacsubtree] Error 127
make: *** [frameworkinstallmaclib] Error 2


ISTR that after making a link and running make again that
there were a few more "python.exe"'s that floated by after
this one too.
