Still dying on install. Running the postflight script manually
gives a better error - it is dying trying to build a symlink into
/Applications/MacPython-2.3/IDLE.app/Contents/MacOS. IDLE.app looks like
it was left out of the installer (so either I'm very wrong, or everyone
else is installing over the top of an old version and not noticing).
