Comment:
Oops, I made a mistake in my suggestion. After the print statement ("This
package does not work..."), the program needs to exit. You could add
`import sys` at the beginning and then put `sys.exit(1)` after the
message. This will cause an error, and I'm not sure whether you want that
or not -- it will say
{{{

You could use `sys.exit(0)` instead, in which case it would say
{{{

In either case, I would print a blank line before the warning message, to
highlight it, and maybe use "ERROR: This package ...". I think using
`sys.exit(1)` is better than `sys.exit(0)`, since it didn't really
successfully install phc.
Do you know of anyone with access to Mac OS X 10.4 (ppc and intel) and
10.5 (intel) machines, to test there?
