While I am a little concerned about applying these fixes, it is clear that the 
previous behavior was broken and the initial set of patches as applied did not 
improve matters. The only risk I can see is that there is a slight chance that 
there *might* be some 3rd-party package that unknowingly depended on the 
previous behavior of setting MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET globally and which might 
now fail.  There is no simple way to find such packages short of attempting to 
build them and test them.  However, if there *should* be such packages, the 
simple fix for them is to export the desired MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET value 
into the interpreter process (via a shell variable, for instance).  So, I think 
it best to bite the bullet.  I've applied the Distutils patches to 2.7 (for 
2.7.3), to 3.2 (for 3.2.1), to default (for 3.3) and the packaging patches to 
default (for 3.3).
