>Description:
        ham/usrp (usrp-3.2) fails to configure because it cannot locate Python.h

        This PR is marked serious/high as I doubt it is truly a problem
        with ham/usrp itself - several other packages are exhibiting the
        exact same problem (some of the gnuradio packages - how many I
        am not sure, it might just be one and the others fail because
        they need the one that fails, or there might be more than one).

        This suggests to me that the actual problem is in one of the
        (common) dependency packages, or that's there's some systemic
        fault that's creeping in that needs to be corrected.

>How-To-Repeat:
        I use pkg_comp with libkver and NetBSD 4.0 sets installed
        (no x*, pkgsrc modular xorg instead).   In this case I suspect
        the only relevant feature of all of that is that we start out
        in an environment with very few packages installed, and in
        particular, no python.

        In that environment I see ...

        The first 5 of those (pkg_install libkver digest perl and lintpkgsrc)
        would all have been installed before this build started, everything
        else was added as a dependency of usrp, or one of its dependencies.

        I see python25 is there, then why is the Python.h not found?
        Or maybe this stuff just doesn't work with python 2.5 (has
        Python.h been removed and only existed in an older, or newer
        python??)

        The python version picked (2.5) is just because that's pkgsrc's
        default version currently.

        The last version of usrp I successfully built was version 3.0.4
        built in late November, last year (2008).

        This PR is unrelated to the jpeg version bump, this one started
        failing for me at the time of its last upgrade (Aug 12/13 depending
        upon timezone).  (Same for the gnuradio packages that are also failing)
