Summary: Allow passing of LDFLAGS to distutils

Initial Comment:
Allow passing LDFLAGS to the linker command when
linking a python extension.  This lets us pass the
right flags to correctly find libraries required for
certain extensions, e.g. zlib.so.

P.S.:
This patch is taken from NetBSD's pkg collection and
not by me. (I guess it's original author is jlam@.)

This is a new feature, which is not acceptable at this time. 

In addition, it needs documentation, and we need the
original author to submit it (or have the original author
transfer the copyright to the submitter).

So I'm rejecting this patch on formal grounds; I agree that
it is technically a good idea.

Forgot to mention, the patch is for 2.3/cvs.
