  Fix for issue #3646: with this patch it is possible to do a
  framework install of Python in your home directory (on OSX):

     $ configure --enable-framework=${HOME}/Library/Frameworks
     $ make && make install

  Without this patch the framework would get installed just fine,
  but 'make install' would try to install the application bundles
  and command-line tools outside the user's home, which doesn't work
  for non-admin users (and is bad form anyway).
