Python port

[Camiel Dobbelaar <dobbe@xs4all.nl>]

[I lost today's earlier message about the revamped Python port, but this
is in reply to it...]

I have some additions/comments to the Python port:

- it does not build as a package: mpzmodule.so is listed in the PLIST but
  not built, although I have a full source tree on my machine. Fix for
  Makefile and files/Setup.gmp:

- a lot of warnings get generated about libreadline, like this one:
ld: /usr/lib/libreadline.a(parens.o): RRS text relocation at 0xbd29 for
"_rl_insert"

  Is this OK?

- Installing IDLE (Python-1.5.2/Tools/idle/) by default would be great. 
  It's a wonderful development environment for python programs. Since it
  is written in python itself, I don't think it justifies a different
  port.
  What would a good installation destination be?
  /usr/local/idle with a start-up script in /usr/local/bin?
  Or is it better to put the modules in lib and 'idle.py' in bin?
