Since we're going to manipulating the PATH with the installer, should
we still bother with the symlinks in /usr/local/bin? We definitely
want the Framework's bin dir on the PATH because that's where scripts
will be installed to... so the /usr/local/bin links seem a bit
redundant. If we do this, then the Python installation process is
completely self-contained except for the Applications dir.
Maybe "make frameworkinstall" should still install the symlinks for
compatibility with people building their own from source, but I'm not
sure if it's better to keep doing it or to just document that the
behavior has changed.
