On the psycopg mailing list, Federico bemoaned the problem figuring out via distutils if a particular platform contains an implementation
for asprintf().  I wrote the attached method as a starting point for such
functionality in distutils.  It's been barely tested at all, but seems to
me to be a reasonable addition to the set of stuff distutils can
check for.

Also note a number of known nits:

  * it doesn't yet clean up after itself
  * it doesn't yet suppress messages to stderr
  * I haven't tested it in any but the simplest of cases
