I consider removing the UNIX-specific magic from setup.py *would* be an
improvement.
An improvement for me would be being able to do:
% CFLAGS=... LDFLAGS=... \
./configure --with-ssl-dir=... --with-dbm-dir=...
and have everything compiled with consistent compiler flags and have the
corresponding modules compiled against the specified libraries.
I don't see another clean way to communicate such build information from
configure to setup.py than via Modules/Setup.conf.
But really, I'm open to suggestion.
