At least on macOS, installing up-to-date versions of several libraries via a third party package manager such as Homebrew may interfere with the rather old and tired version shipped with macOS. Consequently, Homebrew does not add these libraries to the include and linker paths. This change adds a configuration option to derive the correct arguments for CPython's configure script. Adding support for other package managers and operating systems should be trivial, since only two lines are macOS-specific.
Leave actual value blank, so that the example, if directly reused, does not break build for Linux and Windows. Also document actual, working value for macOS.
