That's what I did for now, as it seemed the least intrusive way of
addressing this issue.

Nope. It can check for the interpreter (version) and site-packages
directory, but doesn't contain any macros for libpython, which we need
as well.


Something else worth looking into might be the distutils module that
comes with python 2 and above (AFAIK). Especially distutils.sysconfig
contains a lot of information about the python installation, from
which we might be able to extract all the data we need. That needs a
lot more testing, though, to see if it is consistent across platforms.
So it's nothing I would want to introduce into v0.3 right now.
