In fact, I'm not sure that you need the "-framework Python" to compile 
the python module.

I would advice to add a --framework configure option that enables 
compilation with the Python OSX framework -- strictly speaking Darwin 
(Unix layer of OSX) does not have the notion of framework. People who 
are going to compile Redland-bindings with Python on OSX are more 
likely to use the non-framework version of Python.

Actually, I don't know either how to identify that the installed 
version of python has a framework or not.

I will go with this :)
