What works for me is passing values via environment variables.
Examples:
LOCALBASE: in the FreeBSD ports system, if set, use it, else default to
/usr/local
PG_ROOT: the source to the PostgreSQL build tree I use in pyPgSQL (only
for win32, default to ../postgresql)
Perhaps using environment variables is a simple way to solve your
problems as well.
