Proposed patch

Configuring gst-python on a Mac OS machine with Python installed from MacPorts
fails with the following error (taken from config.log):

configure:13861: checking for libraries required to embed python
configure:13888: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c 
-L/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib -lpython2.6
>&5
/usr/libexec/gcc/i686-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/ld: can't locate file for:
-lpython2.6
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I find that my Python embedding libraries are not in
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib, but in
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/config,
as suggested by python-config.

The attached patch is one possible resolution.
