[PySide] Install via pip fails on OS X Mavericks

[Christian Tismer]

Hi guys,

I have built both eggs and wheels for PySide on Mountain Lion and
Mavericks.

Using the latest XCode, I could not manage to change
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.
When changing that to something like 10.6, I always get the complaint that

distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
mismatch: now "10.6" but "10.9" during configure

So I ended up with doing all builds without setting that, once on 10.9,
and once on a virtual 10.8. But all eggs and wheels are working fine.

It is probably a bit redundant, but for sure very correct to use such
exacly built wheels.

cheers - Chris
