Summary: setup.py trashes LDFLAGS

Initial Comment:
the regexp below will trash the library path in this line in Makefile

    LDFLAGS = -L/foo/lib -Wl,-rpath,/foo/lib -L/bar/lib -Wl,-rpath,/bar/lib

to 
    -L/foo/libWl,-rpath,/foo/lib -L/bar/libWl,-rpath,/bar/lib

which renders this library paths broken and useless for  building python modules.


the following patch seems to work fine for my setup on various plattforms:
