I tried this on Linux 2.2.5 with GCC, on Solaris 5.5.1 with the Sun C
compiler (SC4.0 18 Oct 1995 C 4.0) and on Irix 5.3 with the SGI
compiler.  Good news is that it works on all of those platforms.
Minor bug is that the generated library is called, on all 3 platforms, 
libpython1.5..so (with an extra "." in there)
