Summary: bundlebuilder --lib mishandles frameworks

Initial Comment:
The bundlebuilder command-line argument --lib is supposed to be able to include frameworks in the resulting Mac app. Unfortunately, the aliases in the resulting framework copy are all broken.

For an example of this, use --lib to include Tcl.framework and then look through the framework in the resulting application package. Frameworks normally have quite a few handy aliases (such as .../Versions/Current) and all the aliases I tried were broken.

I'm not entirely sure if this actually breaks anything. The one app I've managed to build with standalone=True and use of --lib to include the Tk and Tcl frameworks runs fine on my Mac (which has Python, Tcl and Tk frameworks installed) but fails with "True undefined" on another Mac running Jaguar that I happened to have handy.

This 2nd problem may be a separate bug or user error on my part. I'm not yet sure.

I cannot repeat this, neither with 2.4a1 nor with 2.3: I always get 
symlinks where they are expected. I tried the following command line 
(with test.py being a simple hello world script), on MacOS 10.3.4 with 
apple-installed Python:

/usr/bin/python /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/plat-mac/bundlebuilder.py -m test.py --lib /
Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework build

and I got symlinks just fine. Feel free to reopen the bug report if you 
have more info.
