Of course, that's it.  Now I feel silly.  Thanks, Jack.  I've only been 
paying spotty attention to this list, but the ideal solution (IMHO) 
would be that "make install" puts a fully-operational Unix python 
version in /usr/local/bin, while "make frameworkinstall" actually 
creates the /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework.

The frameworkinstall should certainly install python binaries in 
/usr/local/bin that use the framework, so I don't have to waste extra 
space in /usr/local/lib for duplicate libraries.  You probably already 
do this, and I should probably just shut up, install it correctly, and 
see what happens.  :-)

Rambling,
