[Mailman3-dev] getting mm3 running on mac OSX 10.3 (or at least the tests)

[Michael Kato]

I did the following to get mm3 to at least run tests on OS X.

run the getstuff.sh script by hand.

pyprotocol, Zconfig, zope should install fine.
Twisted 1.2 needed the following patch/modifications in setup.py to  
install.

Once installed there's the problem that OS X python doesn't have bsddb  
support, at least it didn't find _bsddb to import.  I develop on a  
PowerBook ssh to a fedora/intel box so I'll occasionally test against  
OS X as I make progress.  I expect the MySQL stuff to run without  
issues.
