Could you tell us again the linking errors? I find
it very strange, it needs investigating.

There is a discussion happening at the moment on the Python-Mac SIG  
(pythonmac-sig@python.org) on Apple's increasing interest in Python +  
packaging issues.
I think it's quite important to get the mac OSX build happening so it  
doesn't matter which version of python (or ipython) a user is using -  
it detects "which python" and build/installs it in the appropriate  
place for that. This comes from my sense that centrally, one spends  
one's time in python accessing all sorts of libraries, including  
csound so it makes sense to put csound in relation to python not the  
other way around.

(I was going to leave it until the next version to mention it but I  
think csnd would be more appropriate in it's own folder in the site- 
packages directory. That way we can add csnd-specific examples) and  
any other crud in an incremental way.

A lot of people get confused by the packaging stuff. I wrote a note  
about it in case anyone wants some clarification:

PS Victor, thanks for the csnd.Csound() tip.
