  If none of the information is being used, then let's comment out the
call to read the file.  When building the modules in Modules/, I
notice that -DHAVE_CONFIG_H is passed on the command line, but that
indicates distutils should make that define from the command line if
appropriate (or perhaps always?).  The file itself may not need to be
parsed by distutils.
  I'd keep the function around, since a specific package may benefit
from having that information around; the setup.py for that can call
the function if appropriate.
