[mod_python] New setup.py.in for mod_python - builds mod_python extension from distutils

Hi

I've been working on the mod_python dist/setup.py.in (mostly to make it 
work for win32) and have added some important functionality...

1) it no longer requires configure (so it could just be setup.py) - it 
either scans config.status or calculates the information itself (e.g. it 
scans through the source file to find the mod_python version number). On 
Windows it uses the APACHESRC environment variables to find the apache 
include and lib directories (just like the VC++ project does)
2) it is now able to build mod_psp on Windows as well as Linux
3) most importantly, it is now able to build mod_python directly from 
the setup.py (on Windows)
    this should be possible on non-Windows system too but will require 
some work (we may have to make a distutils compiler class for apxs)

There are a few notes:
- the build of the mod_python extension produces a mod_python_so.pyd 
file, instead of the mod_python.so file we want. But at least on 
Windows, I have modified win32_postinstall to install this one instead 
of the other... (I call it mod_python_so.pyd instead of mod_python.pyd 
so that when it is put in the site-packages directory it does not 
confuse importing packages from mod_python)
- I have also added code to win32_postinstall to automatically detect 
the currently installed versions of Apache from the registry. It would 
be nice to let the user choose one of these. As a start, it just selects 
the latest version as the starting point for the tkinter file selection 
dialog (the win32 shell classes don't seem to let you do this...)

I have attached the modified setup.py.in (easier than a patch as almost 
everything has changed) and win32_postinstall.py

Any comments appreciated

David
