While it probably should be included in distutils.sysconfig, config_h_vars was
created later on in setup.py by some code dealing with whether to compile
expat.  I just moved that up to the top of the funciton so that it can be used
sooner.

Fixed in rev. 1.217 .  Sorry about the bad checking that broke the building of
it in the first place.  =)
