Summary: Linking error on AIX (Python 1.5.2)

Initial Comment:
The patch from 1.32 to 1.33 of file sysconfig.py
removes some special actions for AIX and BeOS
concerning the paths to the linker scripts.

On Python 1.5.2 these parts are still needed, 
because it doesn't have this new style of Makefile
( LDSHARED and BLDSHARED )

The old version (1.5.2) has no BLDSHARED so if is not
found you could execute the old code to stay
compatible.

Or you declare that Distutils is not suited for
versions <2.X.

It's too early to drop 1.5.2 support.  (When that's done, 
the Distutils version will probably be bumped to 1.1.)

I've attached a patch that brings back the old code.
With this patch, does it work with 1.5.2 again

Greg, you're the distutils guru...
