Like I said I'm not too familiar with autoconf, so you're probably
right. I ought to track down where autoconf is going wrong, or possibly
add a #ifdefed to check for gcc >3.3.  Although I'm not sure how to do
that, so I'll have to look into it.

Well If I didn't compile it this way.  It would die in mid compile.  It
would try to compile things that needed the idl generated .h files
before they had been generated.  And then try to compile parts that
required the upf library be already compiled in the src/ dir, but that
had not happened yet.  Have you compiled it on linux?  I don't see why
it would do things in the wrong order on my machine and not on others.

Are you saying that the -lpython2.2 is not needed? or that just the
-L/usr/lib/python/config is not needed?  The first I haven't tried, but
I know the second to be false.
