Summary: Not detecting AIX_GENUINE_CPLUSPLUS

Initial Comment:
PYthon2.2.2 and Python2.3
AIX
xlC 

Need to update the code in configure.in to
remove the hardcoded path for load where
we detect AIX_GENUINE_CPLUSPLUS

The current version looks for
/usr/lpp/xlC/include/load.h
but it should just use <load.h>

Without it, Python uses load() for dynamic load
instead of loadAndInit() in dynload_aix.c

Patch attached

# checks for system dependent C++ extensions support
case "$ac_sys_system" in
	AIX*)	AC_MSG_CHECKING(for genuine AIX C++ extensions
support)
		AC_TRY_LINK([#include "<load.h>],
			    [loadAndInit("", 0, "")],
			    [AC_DEFINE(AIX_GENUINE_CPLUSPLUS)
			     AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)],
			    [AC_MSG_RESULT(no)]);;
	*) ;;
