    On OS X, link libpython normally, ignoring the "framework" framework. · 20561acf

    As of Xcode 5.0, Apple isn't including the Python framework as part of the
    SDK-level files, which means that linking to it might fail depending on
    whether Xcode thinks you've selected a specific SDK version.  According to
    their Tech Note 2328, they've basically deprecated the framework method of
    linking to libpython and are telling people to link to the shared library
    normally.  (I'm pretty sure this is in direct contradiction to the advice
    they were giving a few years ago, but whatever.)  Testing says that this
    approach works fine at least as far back as OS X 10.4.11, so let's just
    rip out the framework special case entirely.  We do still need a special
    case to decide that OS X provides a shared library at all, unfortunately
    (I wonder why the distutils check doesn't work ...).  But this is still
    less of a special case than before, so it's fine.
    
    Back-patch to all supported branches, since we'll doubtless be hearing
    about this more as more people update to recent Xcode.
