psycopg2 doesn't use LDFLAGS from pg_config

Hi,

I'd like to ask for a reason why psycopg2 doesn't use LDFLAGS from
pg_config? Recently I upgraded to PostgreSQL 9.3.0 on a Slackware
system. The build script's author decided to move Pg libraries to a
non-standard place (/usr/lib/postgresql/$VERSION/lib), so that multiple
versions of Pg could be installed. Now, psycopg2 builds correctly after
this change, but it fails to find libpq.so at import time:

ImportError: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory

The fix is to build psycopg2 with LDFLAGS="$(pg_config --ldflags)".

Are there any reasons for not using --ldflags value in setup.py? If no,
would it be hard to add?
