>Description:
when compiling devel/libical with python bindings, it picks up that python2.7 is installed but can't find the header files for some reason.

checking whether /usr/local/bin/python2.7 version >= 2.3... yes
checking for /usr/local/bin/python2.7 version... 2.7
checking for /usr/local/bin/python2.7 platform... freebsd9
checking for /usr/local/bin/python2.7 script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.7/site-packages
checking for /usr/local/bin/python2.7 extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.7/site-packages
checking for swig... true
checking python2.7/Python.h usability... no
checking python2.7/Python.h presence... no
checking for python2.7/Python.h... no
configure: error: Can't find python header files
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
>How-To-Repeat:
do a clean install of libical with python bindings option enabled
>Fix:
fix is more of a work-around, deselect python bindings option
