This is a spiffied-up rebase of a bunch of intermediate changes, presented
as a whole because it is, surprisingly, less confusing that way. The basic
idea is to separate the guts code into categories ranging from generic
stuff that can be the same everywhere and specific variants. The big scary
one is the Darwin support, which actually seems to run okay on 64-bit OS X
10.6. (No other variants were tested.) The other example given is support
for the old clone() syscall on RHEL 4, which affects some wrlinux use cases.
There's a few minor cleanup bits here, such as a function with inconsistent
calling conventions, but nothing really exciting.

one.
There's a long story here, but to abbreviate it:
The shell script was annoying at best to maintain and starting to
show signs of not really being the right tool for the job. For
various reasons, we have some other Python stuff in our build system,
so we picked Python as the language we were already using for other
stuff. We think this works with anything reasonably recent (around
Python 2.4 through 2.6).
There's a little bit of cleanup, also, of the wrapper templates.
