Just for the record, I don't think this particular issue has anything 
directly to do with either setuptools or python2.6.  IIUC, pyconfig.h is 
needed for any packages (packaged with standard *distutils*) that 
include any C extension modules.  From a quick glance at the py2app 
code, it looks like, prior to r65, py2app did not copy pyconfig.h at 
all.  That wouldn't lead to problems until you tried to install a C 
extension module.
