[mod_python] Follow up on install problems.

To be more precise, it's an issues specifically on FreeBSD (and I guess on
OpenBSD as well), which uses different libc's for threaded and not
threaded apps. As a result, you can't mix the two, and Apache 1.3 is
usually compiled against non-threaded libs since it doesn't care for
threads. So your only options are to recompile Python without threads or
compile Apache with threads (I've never tried the latter, but the former
works just fine).

The threaded/non-threaded thing doesn't seem to be an issue on Linux or
Solaris.
