Hmm, I started poking around more...  Where DOES Qgis get its python  
compile flags from?

My python/core/makefile has:

LFLAGS = -headerpad_max_install_names -bundle -F/System/Library/ 
Frameworks -framework Python -arch ppc -arch i386

BOTH -bundle AND -framework Python are there.  This is wrong - it's  
linking a bundle, but also linking directly to python, defeating the  
benefit of the bundle.
