[Pythonmac-SIG] Compiling shared library modules

[Yair Benita]

Well, after struggling with mxTextTools for a while I found the problem.
Some systems required the shared library modules to be executable.
Just to save some work the developers make them executable without checking
what system is used. On the Mac it immediately fails.
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: Can only make SHARED_LIBRARY or
SHARED_OBJECT targets on the Mac
I used the debugger to find the executable configuration and made it shared
library. Now it works.
Maybe it can help you guys with other modules that have the same problem.
