python-config is used if available, see

  AC_PATH_PROG(PY_CONFIG, python-config, no)

  # With Python includes directory

  if test "$PY_CONFIG" = "no" ; then
    PYTHONINC="`$PYTHON -c ['import sys
includepy = \"%s/include/python%s\" % (sys.prefix, sys.version[:3])
if sys.version[0] > \"1\" or sys.version[2] > \"4\":
    libpl = \"%s/include/python%s\" % (sys.exec_prefix, sys.version[:3])
else:
    libpl = \"%s/'$PYLIB'/python%s/config\" % (sys.exec_prefix, sys.version[:3])
print \"-I%s -I%s\" % (includepy, libpl)'`]"
  else
    PYTHONINC=`"$PY_CONFIG" --cflags`
  fi
  LOC_CHECK_INCLUDES(Python.h,Python,$PYTHONINC)

I am not sure if to require python-config.
