 We currently use the result of "python*-config --ldflags" to identify the
 necessary ldflag (specifically a -L option) to build bind10 with
 libpython.

 Unfortunately it didn't work (at least some flavor of) NetBSD and Linux.
 This can be worked around by specifying LDFLAGS by hand before performing
 ./configure, but it's not intuitive.

 There doesn't seem to be a perfect solution to this problem out there, but
 we could introduce one more hack: using `python*-config --prefix`/lib.
 From a quick check this worked for Linux.  Should also be the case for
 NetBSD.
