[PySide] Documentation mistake for PySide/PyPi

[Roman Lacko]

Hi Amos,

thanks for reporting this. We (setup.py authors) know about missing
documentation in setup.py (and PyPI) about building on OSX. We will try to
update the documentation and add the missing parts before next release.

Thanks
Roman
