Summary: --with-next-framework very broken on OSX

Initial Comment:
This bug report is not going to have a lot of useful 
data;  mostly just to get it into the system to see if 
others may care (or already be working on it).

In any case, --with-next-frameworks is quite broken 
under OSX.   It may not even really be pertinent any 
longer, but I have yet to verify that [investigation 
commences soon].

- executes ranlib against the dylib which breaks on 
OSX

- doesn't actually build a framework at all, but 
installs a dynamically loadable library (which may 
actually be more appropriate, all things 
considered)

- fails to install the dylib or any of the other .so 
modules in the actual platform specific directory 
where one might expect.  Instead, they end up in 
the generic dylib directory, but the PYTHONPATH 
does not search that directory.

- python executable will not launch because the 
dylib cannot be found.   However, given that the 
python executable does not have any kind of path 
information for the dylib, I'm not sure it would find it 
even if the dylib were installed in a "more correct" 
place.
