I don't see how Python can require an optional piece of Xcode.  I only build
Python for my own use.  I shouldn't be forced to build exeutables which will
run on a version of the operating system I no longer have.  I think the code
in configure.in has to be smarter and detect that the presence or absence of
the 10.3 compatibility bits in Xcode.
