Summary: Ensure -single_module on Mac OS X

Initial Comment:
When building Python (and disutils based extensions) on Mac OS 
X, Python should ensure that the -single_module flag is being 
passed to the linker.

This will ensure that any given .so, .dylib, or framework is linked 
as a single module.   This will vastly reduce the startup times of 
python, reduce the load times of modules, and shave a bit of a 
performance hit off the top at runtime.

This should also be applicable to the modules built by distutils.

This is not applicable to the distutils modules as they are built now;  
only applicable to Python.framework (and like builds).

[I'm closing 995023, because bbum filed first]

distutils extensions can not use -single_module because they are 
bundles, not dylibs.  Frameworks and dylibs are synonymous, of course.
