That's not what I asked.  but to answer my own question there IS a
python-config program (I don't have tcl installed).

# which python-config
/usr/bin/python-config
#
python-config --cflags
-I/usr/include/python2.5 -I/usr/include/python2.5 -fno-strict-aliasing 
-DNDEBUG
-O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=generic
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC

So...  We should use this in configure to get the PYTHON_CFLAGS  (and we
should use --libs to get PYTHON_LIBS).
