I can verify that the _objc.so extension in that package indeed  
incorrectly versioned.

Because the package was named correctly, the only explanation for  
this is that it was built from an earlier svn revision where the  
version was still marked as 1.3.5.  The header that defines the  
version was then trivially changed to reflect the new version, but no  
source was changed so distutils didn't rebuild of that extension.   
What you've installed *is* 1.3.6 in every way except for what it  
reports (because no functional changes were made to any headers).

I'll put up new 10.4 installers later today, but again -- no big deal.
