OK, the Python bindings fail to link on both MacOS X 10.1.4 and 10.2.8,
whether or not MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is set, and whatever I try to
set it to.  So I've made configure now force it to be set to 10.3
if it's unset or set to a lower version (similar to the SciPy code
Chris posted).  I've made this conditional on $host_os matching darwin*
which again is similar to the SciPy code.

I don't have access to a newer MacOS X box for testing this though, so
would be grateful for confirmation that this fix works, either when the
next release comes out, or in a snapshot:
