To summarize where we are at with OS-X installer:

The binary egg that Charlie built is supposed to work with Python 2.5, 
either Apple or python.org version on OS-X 10.5, and pythonorg version 
on OS-X 10.3.9 and 10.4.*

However, for some odd reason none of us understand, under some 
circumstances, easy-install tries to build from source anyway.

We're not distributing it as a *.mpgk, 'cause bdist_mpgk doesn't work 
right the last time it was tried.

It would be great if someone could work out one or both of these issues, 
but it looks like none of us has the energy and/or time at the moment.

On the bright side, it looks like building from source is getting 
easier, with only libpng being a dependency not supplied by Apple (at 
least on 10.5). Which is odd -- libpng is really common!
