[gpsd-dev] [PATCH]: Link Python extensions with libpython - attempt 3

[Matt]

The attached lets the user specify a python-config executable (think: cross
compilation), and uses it to get the Python link libraries.
I think similar things should be done for the Python includes - see
'INCLUDEPY' - I will need this when cross-compiling later on. But that's a
job for a future patch set.

Please approve/critique.
This fixes the build under Cygwin, and doesn't cause problems for Linux that
I can see. Other platforms I can't vouch for. No impact on splint, cppcheck,
regression tests.

I'm going to leave approval or disapproval of this patch to Greg Troxel and
Bernd Zeimetz, as they've been doing the technical analysis.  It's not on my
list of must-haves for the next point release.
