 Building wxPython on Mac OS X

-NOTE:  OS X support is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL at this time.  Most things
-       are working now, but a few still don't.  I know about most of
-       them and am addressing them as I have time.  If you have any
-       ideas about a fix for the stuff that's still broken then
-       please persue them and send the fixes to me.

-   If you build your own Python then you may want to make a symlink or
-   two in /usr/local/bin so that this version of Python can be found
-   from the command line.  For example:
-
-        cd /usr/local/bin
-       sudo ln -s /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.2/bin/python2.2 python2.2
-        sudo ln -s python2.2 python
-
-   Also, if you create a /usr/local/bin/pythonw script like the
-   following then you can run Python GUI apps (like wxPython) directly
-   from the command line:
-
-       #!/bin/sh
-       exec /Applications/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/python $@
-
-   Be sure to give this script execute permissions:
-
-       sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pythonw
-
-   If you would like to make a MachoPython installer from what you
-   built then you may want to look at the scripts I use to do it
-   located in wxPython/distrib/mac/buildPython.
