[4suite] Amara 1.1.7 broken with Python 2.4.3 on Mac OS X 10.4.6

[Jeremy Kloth]

Thanks for your time and effort. We rely upon the community to test and debug 
our Mac OSX support as none of us have regular access to one (especially the 
new Intel Macs).

Not all files were being included in the source distribution; this is now 
fixed.

It was quite critical; the install process was terminated before setup.py was 
finished.
