In off list communication, we discovered that the RedHat FC5 'python'
package contains a full distutils module, but does not contain the
necessary header files for compiling/installing Python packages with C
language extensions.

A patch to configure.in (which is processed by autoconf to make
configure) which makes configure test explicitly for the header files
is attached and will be included in Mailman 2.1.10.

I was able to duplicate these warnings by giving the -pedantic option
to gcc. They are not fatal, and the installed korean codecs will still
work.

Also, the configure in Mailman 2.1.10 will have a great deal more in it
than the ones in 2.1.9 and previous versions. This is not because of
any configure.in changes, but rather because it is generated with
autoconf 2.59 which adds a bunch more stuff than autoconf 2.13 (which
generated the Mailman 2.1.9 configure) did.
