upgrade pip by default, using the bundled pip provided by the new ensurepip
module. A new configure option, --with-ensurepip[=upgrade|install|no], is
available to override the default ensurepip "--upgrade" option. The option
can also be set with "make [alt]install ENSUREPIP=[upgrade|install\no]".
in bin directories for all configurations: non-framework vs framework,
and single arch vs universal builds. pythonx.y-32 is now always
installed for 64-bit/32-bit universal builds. The obsolete and
undocumented pythonw* symlinks are no longer installed anywhere.
This patch adds support for binary plists on OSX to plistlib (based
on a patch by 'dpounces').
The patch also cleans up the API for the plistlib module.
Some third-party projects, such as matplotlib and PIL/Pillow,
depended on being able to build with Tcl and Tk frameworks in
/Library/Frameworks. They were unable to build with the built-in
Tcl/Tk and/or execute correctly.
Make it easier for users to make use of the backup _tkinter linked
with the third-party Tcl and Tk frameworks in /Library/Frameworks.
The two tkinter variants are now installed in separate directories
under a new lib-tkinter. This allows per-user selection by
manipulating sys.path, directly or with PYTHONPATH. If this
proves useful, we can supply a more convenient user interface
to supply the paths. For now, this remains somewhat experimental.

of OPT for special build options. By setting OPT, some compiler-specific
options like -fwrapv were overridden and thus not used, which could result
in broken interpreters when building with clang.
64-bit/32-bit installer for 10.6+. It is no longer necessary
to install a third-party version of Tcl/Tk 8.5 to work around the
problems in the Apple-supplied Tcl/Tk 8.5 shipped in OS X 10.6
and later releases.

1. ppc arch detection for extension module builds broke with Xcode 5
2. ppc arch detection in configure did not work on OS X 10.4
3. -sysroot and -arch flags were unnecessarily duplicated
4. there was no obvious way to configure an intel-32 only build.
