FWIW, so far all 73 animals that reported on HEAD that they ran with the
change and that currently detect as with_python='yes', find Python.h via
INCLUDEPY the same as via get_python_inc(). This includes systems like gadwall
where sysconfig.get_path('include') returned the erroneous
/usr/local/include/python2.7.

Of course that doesn't guarantee in itself that Python.h is usable that
way. But none of the systems report a get_python_inc(False) differing from
get_python_inc(True), or from the value of INCLUDEPY. So I don't see a reason
for why it'd not?
