That's OK with me, all I need is a place where I can
deal with platform specific issues, and it doesn't
matter a bit to me where.  setup.py.in, Makefile,
setup.cfg, write the stuff right into setup.py
(e.g., if platform == 'Darwin').  What do you like?

Comment:
Agreed; generating Makefiles from the configure script is bad enough, and
generating executable scripts is worse still.  Reintroducing setup.cfg.in
would be better, if that proves necessary.

Comment:
Using setup.py.in is the wrong strategy here: you should consider
placing the symbols into the generated Makefile or config.h
and then have setup.py parse these files (the tools for this
are all there in distutils).
