[gps-devel] [patch] python support configuration for FreeBSD64 broken, other BSDs not supported

Thank you for the patch.
However, it should not be needed in the current development version of GPS, 
because configure will now first try to use "python-config" to find out the list 
of libraries and flags to use.
