Summary: Mac/OSX/Makefile assumes case-insensitive build

Initial Comment:
Mac/OSX/Makefile doesn't work on a case-sensitive 
filesystem, because it assumes that python.exe exists. 
Here's a fragment of an email conversation on the topic:
----------------
1) In the top level Makefile, BUILDEXE is set depending on 
whether the filesystem is case insensitive or not.  However, 
Mac/OSX/Makefile always assumes case-insensitivity, so 
there can be a conflict if python is built under Mac OS X on 
UFS or NFS.

This is unintentional. But: I don't have a UFS file system 
handy right now, and visual inspection
of Mac/OSX/Makefile hasn't revealed any obvious things. 
Could you elaborate? If all else fails send me the diff, after 
going through the release process.

Sorry I wasn't more clear.  It is the following line in Mac/
OSX/Makefile that is the problem:

BUILDPYTHON=$(builddir)/python.exe

This expects the top level Makefile to have added a .exe 
suffix, which would only happen if a case-insensitive 
filesystem was detected.
