Something between the 2.1a1 release (where it worked)
and the current cvs tree broke the --with-suffix
configuration build on macosx.

It used to cd to Modules, build python and then
mv Modules/python to python$(EXE) in the parent directory.

Now:

It looks like --with-suffix support has been taken
out of configure and the build of:

c++ [...] -o python Modules/python.o libpython2.1.a

fails, as there is already a directory named "Python".

Assigned to Neil since he's in charge of the new Makefile.

[nascheme]

The --with-suffix option has been restored.

Oops, close the bug.
