All I need is to build Python to run as it does in a non-GUI situation on
the machines at work, so I can move programs back and forth.  (We don't run
X-windows at work...I don't need the Mac stuff [GUI, Mac-specific tools,
etc] at home.)

I don't mind having to use a non-obvious make target ("install" is obvious)
to do that...I don't see why I should build extra stuff only to toss it
out, hoping that tossing it out "works".
