Summary: Why does Python link to Foundation?

Initial Comment:
I can't see any reason for Python to link to Foundation, so I don't 
think it should.  Am I missing something?

Removing those unused functions, we're left with two functions that 
require CoreServices:

PyMac_StrError
	GetResource
	HLock
	HUnlock
	ReleaseResource

PyMac_GetFullPathname
	FSpMakeFSRef
	FSMakeFSSpec
	FSpMakeFSRef
	FSRefMakePath

I think these two functions can safely be refactored so that their 
functionality comes from elsewhere.  Realistically, both of these 
functions could probably be written in Python anyway (it sure sounds 
like PyMac_GetFullPathname should be due to the comments)

mactoolboxglue seems to be the culprit.  I don't think linking to 
Foundation is necessary, but it seems that CoreFoundation is (for now, 
anyway).

locateResourcePy uses CoreFoundation, which is used in the public API 
implementation of PyMac_GetAppletScriptFile.. however 
PyMac_GetAppletScriptFile is not used anywhere!  I would like to 
remove it.
