No, I'm against that. This would make python not find the Mac modules 
when run from the
development directory (as the modules are in a different place then). 
Moreover, the
copying is done from the Makefile, not setup.py, and this would give a 
special case
for Mac/Lib, while there really is no reason for the special case.

Let's go all the way and put the Mac/Lib stuff where it belongs,
