[Distutils] unixcompile.py, Darwin (MacOSX), ranlib?

I've noticed that when building a static library as part of a setup.py, I have
to do
ranlib build/temp.<platformname>/*.a
and then run "python setup.py build" again before it works.
<platformname> is "darwin-1.3.7-Power Macintosh-2.1".
Can anyone suggest a patch to unixcompiler.py so that ranlib is invoked under
Darwin? I've seen the comment "Not many Unices required ranlib anymore", so
apparently Darwin is one of these...
