[reportlab-users] Setup failure on OS 10.6

[Kevin D Smith]

I have had a lot of trouble with Python extensions on OS X 10.6 in general.  A lot of it has to do with the switch to 64 bits.  Changing your CC environment variable helps in some cases, other times I have had to change the ARCHFLAGS environment variable to something like '-arch i386 -arch x86_64' or just '-arch x86_64' depending on how other libraries in the system were compiled.

I'm almost sure we didn't have to pay for those, but I don't remember much about the original install of that machine.
