Thanks, this looks great, but I haven't been able to test it.

Unfortunately I can't seem to get python-config installed (on Fedora 5,
Python 2.4). Fedora seems to have no package for it until v7 or later,
when it's included with Python. So I tried downloading it from:
http://www.red-dove.com/python_config.html

But I'm not sure this is what I need. I installed it with:
python setup.py install

But that just installed a config.py module, which doesn't seem to be
what I want (it ignores --libs, etc).

Anyway, I'll try to test the script on a more recent distro soon.

Regards,
Nick
