Is a deprecation of a function okay in the Mac C API?  Specifically, 
PyMac_GetAppletScriptFile() is not being used by any known code and is a 
problem for http://www.python.org/sf/1035255 (removes dependency of compiling 
against some frameworks for the core on OS X).  Since I didn't feel totally 
safe applying the patch for b2 since it changed compilation and I didn't get in 
early enough to get testing from CVS users I was planning on deprecating 
PyMac_GetAppletScriptFile() for 2.4 and removing it in 2.5 so I could apply the 
patch then.

But it is a feature change so I wanted to get clearance first.  As I said, to 
the best of my and Bob Ippolito's knowledge no one is using the function and it 
is a hinderance in removing unneeded linking against the core on OS X.

Sorry I didn't do this sooner but I didn't think about deprecating the thing 
until late last night.
