Python: Add `pythonw` for non-Framework installs
We hardlink pythonw and pythonw2.7 to python and python2.7 respectively.
They may be used by 3rd party tools (like PyQt4) and, for some reason, python's
install script doesn't provide them when doing a non-framework install.
The man page (which comes with Mac OS X) on pythonw reads:
As of Python 2.5, python and pythonw are interchangeable; both execute
Python in the context of an application bundle, which means they have access
to the Graphical User Interface; thus both can, when properly programmed,
display windows, dialogs, etc.
See also this discussion https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/6176.
Hardlinks are placed in the same directory in which python and python2.7 reside
in order to be symlinked to /usr/local/bin as part of the installation process.
This also ensures a clean uninstall of the formula.
Closes #6248.
