[mod_python] Compiling mod_python against 64 bit

The problem was indeed that the yum installs place the libpython2.4.so
in /usr/lib64 where apparently it isn't found.  Symlinking it
to /usr/lib/python2.4/config fixes the issue.  At least it compiles and
loads into apache properly.  Still need to test code.

Thanks for the pointer.
