I don't see your question in my backlog of #macpython, my client must 
have been disconnected at that time?

It should shrink the memory footprint of Python and cause it to start 
up a bit faster (unsure if this difference is going to be very 
measurable).  It might also produce a binary that's compatible with 
both Darwin and Mac OS X (untested, I have no Darwin installation).
