AFAIK the difference is not in config but in /usr/lib; on Linux,
libpython2.4.so* are installed in /usr/lib, allowing one to link against
python with a simple -lpython2.4, where we need
- -L/usr/lib/python2.4/config also.  Having a copy/symlink of
libpython2.4.dll.a in /usr/lib would help make Cygwin more compatible
with python-dependent autotooled packages, which are not yet sensitive
to this peculiarity.
