TBH it adds a lot of complexity to an already complex and fragile
configure script, which would hardly ever be tested.
Can't either SLE11 be fixed, or else the revert patch carried by SLE11
(the latter is what we are doing for RHEL 5)?
I have added this to the spec file to fix my build failure:
+if ! pkg-config python
+then
+ export PYTHON_LIBS="-lpython`python -c 'import distutils.sysconfig; print
(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_version ());'`"
+ export PYTHON_CFLAGS="-I`python -c 'import distutils.sysconfig; print
(distutils.sysconfig.get_python_inc ());'`"
+fi
