Summary: Read Me file Patch for Python 2.1.2

Initial Comment:
The following paragraph replaces the existing Mac 
OS X v10.1 paragraph.  It assumes that patches 
481060 and 481075 are taken.

- Dan

Mac OS X 10.1: Run configure with ./configure --
with-suffix=.x  --with-dyld".  This generates 
executable file: 'python.x'  (it cannot be named 
'python' on an HFS or HFS+ disk as the file name 
clashes with directory 'Python').
        
        The makefile is set up to correctly handle two-
level namespaces for Mac OS X v10.1 and 10.0.x 
systems. However, running the prebinding tool on 
Mac OS X 10.0.x again will cause the tool to break 
as it cannot handle two level namespaces.
        
        The default Mac OS X has a default stacksize 
of 512K which  causes the regular expression 
tests (RE and SRE) to SEGV. To  temporarily 
increase the stacksize, type 'limit stacksize 2M' in 
the terminal window before running 'make test'.
        
        The test_largefile test will work on HFS+ and 
UFS filesystem, providing you have enough space 
and time.
        
        After sudo 'make installation', do the following 
commands:
        cd /usr/local/bin/
        sudo mv python.x python
        sudo mv python2.1.x python2.1

Let 481075 rest for now, I need to do this for the trunk too. I'll flag the checkin message.

If you apply my new 489388 then everything should be fine for 2.1.2 for OSX.

481060 is in, but not 481075 - I don't have access to Mac OS X
for easy testing of this. 
Hm, or does cf.sf.net have OS X boxes?

This sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Assigned to the Mac OS expert for evaluation and integration.

Jack, note that this is for the release21-maint branch.  Thanks!
