Summary: platform.mac_ver() returning incorrect patch version

Initial Comment:
Running on an Intel Mac OSX 10.4.10 machine:

>>> platform.mac_ver()
('10.4.9', ('', '', ''), 'i386')


I have reproduced this on 4 other (Intel Mac) machines. I don't have access to a 10.4.10 PPC machine.

Interesting problem! Mac_ver() basically uses gestalt() with a selector of
'sysv' and this will return '9' for the micro-version if it is 9 or
greater.
It could be fixed, according to
<http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?14@@.3bc49a09/0> by using three
calls to gestalt() with selectors 'sys1', 'sys2' and 'sys3', which will
return the three numbers correctly.

I'm not sure whether these selectors are always available, will
investigate.
