	Isn't `python-config' just a trivial wrapper around the
	functions provided by the `distutils.sysconfig' [1] (or
	whatever) Python module, made to allow simple (and conventional)
	access to these functions from the Shell?

	I've already suggested for GRASS to be switched to use
	`AC_PYTHON_DEVEL' (from the Autoconf macro archive), which
	doesn't depend on the wrapper and uses the Python interface
	directly.
