o.k. - I've just submitted revision 1 of python25 that includes a fix  
for this - the PYTHON variable now points to @bindir@/python2.5 (e.  
g. /opt/local/bin/python2.5).

Please let me know if this causes any troubles elsewhere and if it  
fixes the ctypes problem (or if we need to patch more stuff)
