The above test won't work on non-Mac OS X platforms, since distutils
does some funky stuff with the os.environ and system files which
results in the conversion to macosx-10.3 not to work on non-Mac
platforms.

Even on Macs, it makes a difference whether you have MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
set to 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5.
