Summary: MacPython-OS9 distutils breaks on OSX

Initial Comment:
MacPython-OS9 distutils (or actually the underlying mkcwproject 
package) does not always work on OSX. The problem is that 
references to the GUSI source tree are relative pathnames to the 
Python sourcetree with :: in them, and CW (at least CW7) doesn't 
understand this when running on OSX.

I have attached a screenshot which illustrates the problem 
(access paths are OS9-style but with OSX separator). This 
is with OS9MacPython 2.2.3 as posted today. Do you have any 
tips on where to look? I'm not familiar with the distutils CW back 
end at all.

I didn't do a _lot_ of testing, but it sure looked like it simply doesn't work at 
all.

Just: do you mean that *no* distutils-based packages build correctly with 
MacPython-OS9 on OSX with CW8 because of the incorrect pathnames?

I've observed that (at least with CW8) _all_ pathnames are wrong: they do use 
/, but the paths are constructed as if they are OS9 paths, ie. the start with 
the volume name ( /MyHD/rest/of/path )
