Very interesting.  Trying to build with your changes on my Mac (OS X 10.5.5)
I get an error caused by a definition in code.h:

    ...
    gcc -c -fno-strict-aliasing -Wno-long-double -no-cpp-precomp -mno-fused-madd -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes  -I. -IInclude -I./Include -I/opt/local/include  -DPy_BUILD_CORE -o Python/mactoolboxglue.o Python/mactoolboxglue.c

                     from Python/mactoolboxglue.c:27:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Headers/Lists.h:50: error: conflicting types for 'Cell'
    Include/code.h:15: error: previous declaration of 'Cell' was here
    make: *** [Python/mactoolboxglue.o] Error 1

Note that I'm not actually doing a Framework build.  Any way you can easily
rename your macros to avoid obvious name clashes like this?

Thanks,
