Summary: make frameworkinstall fails on Intel Macs

Initial Comment:
make frameworkinstall fails on Intel Macs 
due to an endian error.

Hardware: Intel Duo iMac 20"
OS Version: OS X 10.4.6

Error:
------

  File
"/Users/Shared/Downloads/Python-2.4.2/Lib/plat-mac/applesingle.py",
line 58, in __init__
    raise Error, "Unknown AppleSingle magic number
0x%8.8x" % (magic,)
applesingle.Error: Unknown AppleSingle magic number
0x00160500
make[1]: *** [installmacsubtree] Error 1
make: *** [frameworkinstallmaclib] Error 2

Looking in the file at line 31:

AS_MAGIC=0x00051600

...it seems fairly obvious that byte order is
reverse. Looks like the file is in big-endian
format, not ntaive format.


Fix:
----

vi Lib/plat-mac/applesingle.py

Line 28: Replace 
   AS_HEADER_FORMAT="LL16sh"
with
   AS_HEADER_FORMAT=">LL16sh"

Line 35: Replace
  AS_ENTRY_FORMAT="lll"
with
  AS_ENTRY_FORMAT=">lll"
