If a build expressions has set "enableParallelBuilding = true", then the
generic builder may utilize more than one CPU core to build that particular
expression. This feature works out of the box for GNU Make. Expressions that
use other build drivers like Boost.Jam or SCons have to specify appropriate
flags such as "-j${NIX_BUILD_CORES}" themselves.

* Dropped "nolongdouble.patch". The patch no longer applies to Python 2.6, and
apparently isn't required anymore either.
* Added access to native Darwin arch utility. Python tries to run 'arch' in
the configure stage, but that binary reside in /usr/bin. To make it
available to the expression, the small wrapper darwinArchUtility is added as
a buildInput if appropriate.
* Don't pass --enable-shared. The build fails if we try to enable building of
shared libraries, apparently because some required libraries aren't linked,
i.e. the linker call isn't right.
TODO:
* Figure out how to enable shared linking.
* The resulting binary on Darwin seem to lack the binascii module.

The build succeeds on i686-linux. Other platforms look good, too,
because there were hardly any changes necessary to update the expression
from 2.5.
