py25-* package building on Leopard

[Suresh Pillai]

Thanks very much for mentioning this!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the same problem with py25-hashlib and py25-tkinter, and got no 
responses from anyone on how to fix, and so gave up on macports since if 
you can't install python libs, what's the point of anything. :)
