[issue8868] Framework install does not behave as a framework

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com> added the comment:

The pythonw executable always uses execv on OSX 10.4 because posix_spawnv isn't available there.

A possibly significant change is the value of argv[0] as passed to the Python.app executable.

Could you check if this patch fixes the issue?
