Summary: plat-mac/applesingle.py needs cosmetic changes

Initial Comment:
1)  it uses a string exception
2)  it has a warning every time you use it:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/
python2.3/plat-mac/applesingle.py:40: FutureWarning: %u/
%o/%x/%X of negative int will return a signed string in 
Python 2.4 and up
3) its decode function overloads __builtin__ names (input, 
id) and uses type(input) == type('') when it really means: 
isinstance(input, basestring).. or maybe even better: not 
hasattr(input, 'read')
4) it can be useful on platforms other than MacOS (bub-n-
bob uses it for example)

Attached is a revamped and backwards compatible version.

Accepted for 2.4 as rev. 1.3 (with minor changes by me, to make 
it pass the new test_applesingle test), but not for 2.3: it seems the 
one thing that would make this a bug fix (point 2) doesn't happen 
for me.
