I think we we should have separate Framework directories for each Python 
version, otherwise if you have 2.4 and 2.5 installed on your system, then the 
Current symlink will point to 2.5, presumably, and you won't be able to do a 
framework build against 2.4.  I believe this is the case because the compile 
just specifies something like

-F/opt/local/Library/Frameworks -framework Python

So I suggest we change 2.4 and 2.5 to install the framework portion into

$prefix/Library/Framework-Python2.4

and

$prefix/Library/Framework-Python2.5
