This commit allows building Python with the following libraries
installed via MacPorts:
- ncurses
- openssl
- readline
- zlib (XCode SDK zlib is still tried first)
If either Homebrew or MacPorts system is the only one installed, that system
will be used automatically.
When both systems are installed, then whatever is found first in PATH - brew
or port - will be used for all dependencies.
The following environment variables can be set to non-empty value to override
the selection:
PYTHON_BUILD_USE_HOMEBREW
PYTHON_BUILD_USE_MACPORTS
Tcl/Tk specific support is omitted due to CPython incompatibility with
Tcl/Tk 9, according to the comments in use_homebrew_tcltk().
Those who need Tcl/Tk module, can use PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS --with-tcltk-libs=
pointing to the Tcl/Tk location which can be installed either from sources or
via MacPorts.
Tests for added *_macports_* functions are based off of the corresponding
brew counterparts.
