Here's an idea: could we somehow incorporate your patch into one of the 
Python Makefiles (Mac/OSX/Makefile comes to mind) and add a test for 
whether it's needed too?

It would be nice if anyone building 2.4 framework Python on an 
unpatched 10.3 would get a warning along the lines of
WARNING: your Apple-installed Python needs a path to coexist peacefully 
with MacPython 2.4
WARNING: run "sudo make patchpython2.3" in Mac/OSX to apply the patch.
