Summary: No notes for building on Mac OS X 10.0

Initial Comment:
In the 'README' file for Python-2.1c2, the 'Platform 
specific notes' section for Mac OS X should be 
amended to include notes for building on Mac OS 
10.0 (as opposed to Mac OS X beta). The 
suggested new words are:

Run configure with "OPT='-no-cpp-precomp' ./
configure --with-suffix=.exe --with-dyld".
This generates executable file: 'python.exe' (it 
cannot be named 'python' on an HFS or HFS+
disk as the file name clashes with directory 
'Python'). The '-no-cpp-precomp' option prevents
a large number of compilation warnings.

All the regression tests succeed except for the 
regular expression test 'test_re'
which fails with a SEGV unless file '_sre.c' has a fix 
to limit the depth of recursion used.
This change (and a suggested fix) has been 
submitted as a bug under request id: 416526.

I think that configure.in should be corrected to
automatically use the right options, instead of documenting
how to manually pass them.
