I have had horrible luck with bdist_mpkg for the last several months.
I did poke at the setuptools code and it looks like we just won't be able to
make it happy with a universal binary.  The preferred extensions have ppc or
i386 in them depending on your arch.  I think the best way to move forward
is to just post binaries for each architecture and not have a universal
build.
     I statically compile in universal builds of libpng and freetype so
end-users don't have to worry about it.  I just build these by hand and the
process is documented here:
