Summary: pyconfig.h duplicates common defines

Initial Comment:
When combining the Python library with other packages,
or with your own 'configure'-d package, warnings like:
/home/michielu/pybuild/config.h:402: warning:
`PACKAGE_VERSION' redefined
/usr/include/python2.3/pyconfig.h:663: warning: this is
the location of the previous definition

The same goes for stuff like PACKAGE_STRING,
PACKAGE_TARNAME and PACKAGE_NAME.

It is likely that more defines like HAVE_FORK, etc, can
be duplicated.

Such configuration values should not be installed
'as-is' from the ./configure output. Instead, it is
suggested the installation preprocesses a header
configuration file and uses and installs that.

Michiel can you try the version in CVS?  I believe many of
the PACKAGE_* macros have been removed.  I don't know if
this is a problem any longer.
