Since the Python stuff is really a bit of a pain, I went and did a
more exhaustive search that led me to

  http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/macros-by-category.html#PYTHON

Of special interest is the AC_PYTHON_DEVEL macro, which appears to be
doing what we want, but in a much nicer way using Python build-in
distutils.

Actually, it might not be the best solution either, as people seem to
have problems with it too:

I'll possibly play around with it a little bit later this week to see
if it would work on OS X, for example. Doesn't look like it supports
frameworks, though. It might work however, to just reuse the part
where they locate the python library and linker flags.

Maybe you could try that as a patch to configure.in, which means I
could keep working on other stuff. If it works, I'd apply the patch so
it would be in 0.3.5.
