The new Mac OS X 10.6 section of the Makefile makes use of the new --arch

available on Intel platforms, the Mac OS X 10.6 Python shipped by Apple was
configured with three architectures, -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc,
making for compiles that are three times slower than needed and binaries
that are three times bigger. On Mac OS X 10.6 the PyLucene Makefile invokes
JCC with --arch x86_64 to build 64-bit executables only.
Andi, I can see why removing "--arch ppc" is a good idea, but Python on
OS X 10.6 is configurable to run either as 64-bit or 32-bit, which is a
pain. See the Snow Leopard man page for "python". So I'd guess that
the .so should be both 32-bit and 64-bit, no?
I'm removing both -arch i386 and -arch ppc. This Makefile section says that
it's for Mac OS X 10.6 64-bit python.
If one wanted to use 32-bit Python on Mac OS X 10.6, they could copy that
section and/or change it to use --arch i386.
If one wanted all three archs to be built, they can remove the --arch x86_64
thing altogether, of course.
