At present the ldshared executible is set only by
locating it in the python Makefile (there is a fallback
if it is not found, as well). While that works in many
cases, it may be that one needs to set the ldshared to
agree with a compiler/linker other than the one python
was compiled with. You can set CC, but when creating
shared objects you are stuck with whatever python was
compiled with.

The patch simply checks for LDSHARED in the current
environment, and if it is present, it uses it. This is
the same behaviour (and method) as for CC and CXX.

Note that I'm indicating this is for 2.3, but I've
browsed CVS and found sysconfig.py to be identical in
this area of the code.

I'm inclined to accept this patch, if only because Python's
own setup.py has a similar hack in it already!

Applied, and modified setup.py to no longer do this itself.

Thanks for the patch!
