Agree with Barry: sysconfig is the new hotness for configuration info.

On #4359, I said that future improvements in sysconfig 
(http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distutils2/src/tip/docs/design/wiki.rst) will 
address part of the issue: It will use a configparser file to store 
installation directories.  There is nothing in the document about other 
build-time variables at the moment, but I’m +1 on any system that would remove 
the brittle Makefile parsing in sysconfig.  The sysconfig.cfg does not look 
like the best place to put this info, since it’s not editable configuration but 
more state.  +0 on generating a _sysconfig.c module.

I’ll have to read again the original patch and Martin’s proposal to understand 
the case of debug in the wider configure information picture.
