All arguments should be separate elements in the list, instead of stuffing one string with several arguments in the list.

BTW. I'm not at al sure that this will work, pyconfig.h contains some byte-order specific values. The Python 2.4.4 and 2.5 distributions contain patches that make sure that C code sees the right values for those definitions, but I don't think this is present in Apple python2.3 build.
