Mark, I think he just meant the stuff in the build-support directory
in the source repo.

For reference, I've been able to build and run pyobjc from the source
inside a virtualenv with just running 'python setup.py install', first
in pyobjc-core, then in the framework wrappers, as Ronald mentioned
earlier. It's not exactly easy_install, but it's not that hard.

This doesn't work if you have a mismatched MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
set, but if you don't need to change that, it works fine.
