Py_Initializemisses necessary libraries (static libpython.a)

The test for Python.h and the embedding fails to link because the libraries needed for satisfying dependencies of libpython2.6.a are not applied (in my case pthread dl util m).python-config --libs correctly outputs these libs (which seems a somewhat similar problem to http://code.google.com/p/waf/issues/detail?id=1118 but happens with old Python-versions too). It seems you need to use "--libs" as the only option for it to output them correctly.I think the correct approach would be to parse `python-config --libs` separately and add those to the check used for embedding Python.>> how to reproduce the problem?Compile Python with static libpython and use waf's check_python_headers()
