Python bindings on Mac OS 10.9

[R. Victor Klassen]

Not terribly enlightening.

The first error I found was of the form:

#include <minix/config.h>
         ^
1 error generated.
configure:4706: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

Also…

And a similar complaint about libintl.h

And <ac_nonexistent.h>

And <pow.h>

And <dl.h>

And <mcheck.h>

All of the above, I can’t tell whether they're real issues, or just diagnostic tests.

Just before the ##———————---##
                         ## Cache variables. ##

section, I found:

configure:20544: checking for guile
configure:20577: result: no
configure:20583: error: guile required but not found


which was about as informative as the message it produced at the terminal.
