The libpython3.0.a created for Python 3.0.1 isn't a normal static 
library.

Due to a bug in Darwin's ar, extraction the object files in this 
abnormal static libraries has been possible with 'ar x'. This bug in ar 
will be fixed in the next Xcode and the abnormal static library that 
python creates will no longer be able to serve as a substitute for a 
true static library. The libpython#.#.#.a files in config should be made 
into normal static libraries for all the currently supported versions of 
python when built as frameworks.
