*** 387,400 ****
          future release.
  
! Mac OS X: You need to add the "-traditional-cpp" option to the
!         compiler command line for the Mac OS X Public Beta.  This is
!         appearantly a bug in the default pre-processor, and is
!         expected not to be a problem with future versions.  Run
!         configure with "OPT='-g -traditional-cpp' ./configure
!         --with-suffix=.exe --with-dyld" to add this
!         option.  One of the regular expression tests fails due to the
!         small stack size used by default (how to change this?), and
!         the test_largefile test is only expected to work on a Unix UFS
!         filesystem (how to check for this on Mac OS X?).

! Mac OS X 10.0: Run configure with "OPT='-no-cpp-precomp' ./configure
!         --with-suffix=.exe --with-dyld".  This generates executable
!         file: 'python.exe' (it cannot be named 'python' on an HFS or
!         HFS+ disk as the file name clashes with directory 'Python').
!         The '-no-cpp-precomp' option prevents a large number of
!         compilation warnings.  One of the regular expression tests
!         fails with a SEGV due to the small stack size used by default
!         (how to change this?), and the test_largefile test is only
!         expected to work on a Unix UFS filesystem (how to check for
!         this on Mac OS X?).
