The --prefix option will tell configure where to place the files so you 
don't overwrite your current python. 

I am looking forward to seeing what the UB related options are - when I 
have tried the ones mentioned in the Tech Notes (CFLAGS= -isysroot 
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch ppc -arch i386 and LDFLAGS= 
-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk 
-syslibroot,/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk) I end up with odd ld errors.
