My current approach has been to use an EXTERNAL_LIBRARY call in a
Makefile.py. This, like the Mico issue, has the problem of hard coding a
version number in the external library call (does the developer have
python 2.2 or 2.3 headers---or maybe even 1.5 ?). But for the moment it
will have to do.

Is there any way we could hack up Confix to accept a list of include
directories to search for a provided header file ? (Does it do this
already ?) But even this isn't a great solution, since developers might
have stuff installed in all sorts of nonstandard locations.

Ahh, standardization ... how easy and boring things would be.
