I have a python script that's derived from the script that I'm using  
to build the univeral python distribution.

It can be pretty involved. If you're very unlucky you'll have to  
build a ppc and intel version version of software and then merge them  
using lipo. Luckily most python-related software I've run into until  
now can be coaxed into building using 'cc -arch ppc -arch i386' as  
the compiler.
