Use python-config to find Python headers and libraries.

The current method does not work with Python 3 in Fedora, as the
binary, headers, and libraries are suffixed with '3.3m'. The current
test checks the internal version of Python and see '3.3.2' -> '3.3'.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the
HOWTOs in the "Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
