Write an M4 macro. Here's a primative one below.

dnl @synopsis PFK_PYTHON_PATH
dnl
dnl PFK_PYTHON_PATH adds configure command line option
dnl
dnl -with-python-include
dnl
dnl to set the output variable PY_INCLUDE to the path of the Python.h
dnl file. If the option is not given, then attempts to run the python
dnl intepreter to find path to the binary and the version number in order
dnl to construct the path. For example, if python is /usr/bin/python and
dnl version 1.5, then PY_INCLUDE is set to /usr/include/python1.5
