After discussion on the PythonMac-SIG it was decided that it is better
to make using "-undefined dynamic_lookup" for linking extensions more
automatic on 10.3 and later. So if we're on that platform and
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is not set we now set it to the current OSX
version during configure. Additionally, distutils will pick up the
configure-time value by default.
Will backport.
