[issue5426] README slight error re OSX

[Mitchell Model]

Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org> added the comment:

Whoops! It didn't say "the executable that gets built is called 
python.exe", but it is in the build section, so taking things 
literally, yes, the executable is called python.exe and I maybe 
should have taken it at its word.

There's a subtle problem in the wording since "the executable" almost 
always suggests "the program you run". It's a little weird -- though 
I see your point about why it's done that way -- to build an 
executable that gets installed as a different name. (Well, maybe 
installed with  version number as part of the name.) So even if the 
README is literally correct I do think it lays a subtle trap for the 
reader that could be avoided with a slight rewording.  Not important 
-- I'm just trying to help by pointing out documentation problems as 
I come across them. Most of them have been real.
