Please do not use PORTNAME in external macros. I like to think that one
can take these macros and put them in some other project without
requiring the prior setup that the PostgreSQL configure.in does.
Instead, use AC_REQUIRE([AC_CANONICAL_HOST]) and resolve the issue
using $host_os.

Also, add some comments to the magic you add in the makefiles.

The hardcoded Python version number will of course not stand the test of
time.
