Python changed the behavior and args for urllib.urlopen; the context
arg is needed to avoid cert checking in 3.4.3 and later, but isn't
supported before, where the default is to not check certs.
Apple provides a hacked OpenSSL that checks Keychain for certs after failing
to find them elsewhere (and normally there is no elsewhere). The versions
provided for OS X versions < 10.8 are obsolete, preventing building
osm-gps-maps's dependencies, so we provide our own but it can't be similarly
hacked to use Keychain because that is a private API to which Apple doesn't
provide headers.
This is at root a Python problem, see https://bugs.python.org/issue17128
To work around it, disable certificate verification for this one URL for
macs only. This does create the small security risk of a MITM attack injecting
malicious add-ons, but since the URL is user-editable a phishing attack is
more likely and there's nothing that SSL can do about that.
As of GTK 3.18.0 a fake button release event is no longer sent when
a DnD completes:

As a result we keep selection disabled which then means that the next
drag from the clipboard fails to select the dragged object and we wind
up trying to drop the old selection instead.
This fixes a number of run time warnings of the form:
interactivesearchbox.py:195: TypeError: Passing arguments to gi.types.Boxed.__init__() is deprecated.
All arguments passed will be ignored.
Which appear to represent a genuine issue as the previous way
of creating events indeed doesn't set the type.
I installed my development environment on a different machine
but for some reason didn't install intltool. But it took me
a while to notice since I normally routinely divert the output
to a file. So it was crashing but I didn't know.
But when I examined setup.py I saw that was tested for, at least
it was supposed to be tested for. But on my particular machine
when the test was piped into more commands the whole piped command
was returning a zero status, even though there was no intltool
at all. So I have added an explicit test for intltool and that
does indeed fail on my machine, without one.
