Summary: python-config

Initial Comment:
I'm not sure this is the correct place to do this, but I found the need 
for a python-config (similar to sdl-config, etc.) when building an 
C++ application that embeds python.

It accepts two arguments --cflags and --static-libs:

# ./python-config --cflags --static-libs 
-I/usr/include/python2.4
/usr/lib/python2.4/config/libpython2.4.a

I guess it could be expanded to do more, but it was all I needed.

This is the right place if you want this to be included in
the standard Python distribution. If you just want to share
it with others, the Python cookbook is a better place:

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/

In the current form, this is not acceptable, as it is
incomplete (e.g. there is no integration into the Python
build process, and we need to know what specific options are
expected from a *-config program, and implement them). Are
you willing to complete this?
