Priority: 5
Summary: python will not build without --with-suffix on case insensitive filesystem

Details: Mac OSX as the option of being installed in HFS+, a case insensitive filesystem.

Under OSX on HFS+, one *must* use the --with-suffix to change the name of the compiled executable or the build fails.

However, it would be desirable to have the 'make install' still instal the binary as just plain 'python' without requiring manual step.

Maybe the top level Python directory could be renamed PyCore or something?

(Yes, this is an annoyance-- but case insensitive files systems are a reality)
