 For an unknown reason, the python/configure.py.in line 22 has a hardcoded
 universal architecture (ppc, i386), so it cannot build four ways universal
 binaries (Leopard types).

 For the macports port, I've totally disabled the test (see the joined
 patchfile). It works but for this:

 the core.so and gui.so library which is dependant to libcore and libgui
 retains the build location of these files instead of their final installed
 location, so it is not possible to launch core.so once the build directory
 has been erased:

 > otool -L Contents/MacOS/share/qgis/python/qgis/core.so
 Contents/MacOS/share/qgis/python/qgis/core.so:
 /usr/pkg/var/macports/build/_Users_vincent_Developpement_ports_gis_qgis/work/qgis-1.1.0/build/src/core/libqgis_core.1.1.0.dylib
 (compatibility version 1.1.0, current version 1.1.0)
 [...]
 > otool -L Contents/MacOS/share/qgis/python/qgis/gui.so
 Contents/MacOS/share/qgis/python/qgis/gui.so:
 /usr/pkg/var/macports/build/_Users_vincent_Developpement_ports_gis_qgis/work/qgis-1.1.0/build/src/core/libqgis_core.1.1.0.dylib
 (compatibility version 1.1.0, current version 1.1.0)
