Summary: Configure patch for Mac OS X 10.3

Initial Comment:
This patch makes sure that _POSIX_SOURCE and friends won't get defined 
when you build on Panther. Defining those have no effect on Panther, but 
will make it impossible to build extensions on a Tiger system when 
Python itself was build on Panther.

I don't suppose this helps, but  yes this patch is save.  I use this in production 
and haven't found an extension yet that wouldn't work when this patch is 
applied.  I've also looked at the platform header files to determine if the patch is 
save.

We (Bob Ippolitto and myself) are using a simular patch in our ongoing work to 
create an universal build of python.

Can any OS X expert confirm that not defining _XOPEN_SOURCE
and _POSIX_C_SOURCE hasn't a negative effect on OSX 10.3?
