It should be possible to have a "_tkinter84.so" and "_tkinter85.so"  
that are the same extension sources linked to two different versions  
of tk, then have a stub _tkinter.py module do something like:

try:
     from _tkinter85 import *
except ImportError:
     from _tkinter84 import *

It should be able to arrange for this in build-installer.py script  
without having to change the global standard library.

Benjamin is the release manager for python 2.7 and 3.1, he doesn't  
build the OSX installers. I, however, do build them ;-)
