With Python 2.6.1 currently installed and attempting to install 2.6.2 into 
a DESTDIR location, and having a different configuration for the new one 
(2.6.1 built with default Unicode settings, 2.6.2 with UCS4), 
BuildApplet.py fails because of symbol not found.

Full output (building with MacPorts, hence the sometimes-funky paths) 
attached as a text file.

FYI, I'm able to avoid this by using "PYTHONHOME=$(DESTDIR)$(prefix)" 
before $(RUNSHARED) when running BuildApplet.py and $(BUNDLEBULDER) in 
Mac/Makefile.in, Mac/IDLE/Makefile.in, and Mac/PythonLauncher/Makefile.in.

I haven't looked in this particular problem yet, but please note that the 
Mac-specific libraries do not work with an UCS4 build of python.
