Hi,

I have discovered that when python is built with pth it results in some ports 
breaking.  This is (I'm sure) a result of the ports not handling the python 
dependency properly.  

The problems that I have found so far:
 - port does not link to -pth (e.g. textproc/py-libxml2)
 - port fails to link due to lack of -fPIC (e.g. www/mod_python3 [see below 
for output])
 - *ports fail to build as pth.h cannot be found (do not have examples of this 
but I can find some if wanted).  

*I've found the easiest way to solve this problem is to remove the `#include 
<pth.h>` line in Python.h (after it is installed).  

Is there anyone handling these problems (or trying to eliminate the need for 
pth) and should I file PR's for the above ports?  

Regards,

David
