Python patch to install a shared library

Hello,

Per requested by many people, I made a patch to make python port
to install not only static library but also shared library and its
interpreter frontend.  This obsoletes BUILD_SHARED option and the
port doesn't build PIC binary or library even for amd64 and ia64
anymore.  This means that you need to change linking with not static
but shared library if you need to embed python into your shared
library.

Please test this patch on your platform:

Any comments are very welcome.
