Provide some information about "temp_libs" on Mac OS X when building wheels.

When building a wheel on the darwin platform, setup.py expects various libraries to be in the non-existent folder temp_libs. It would be helpful to include some information about the intended use.
The following works for me (Mac OS X 12.5.1):
port install portaudio portmidi libsndfile liblo
ln -s /opt/local/lib temp_libs
python setup.py bdist_wheelOtherwise I get a rather cryptic error message
error: can't copy 'temp_libs/liblo.7.dylib': doesn't exist or not a regular file
(At least it was cryptic until I figured out that setup.py was looking for temp_libs.)
"temp_libs" is auto-generated by the script I use to create wheels for the supported python versions when I'm preparing a release. I want to change these hard-coded paths in favour of looking into the installation path of brew, which will make building from sources more easier for everyone to handle.
