Well, as the summary states, I was suggesting using it and default and having a
fallback to python-config. But either way's fine, I think.

I'd say it's just another substitution. Since you would call:

  $ pkg-config --libs python-${PYTHON_VERSION}

You could just go for:

  python${PYTHON_VERSION}

However, I'm not sure where you would need that.
