Would be great to add s.th. like this also for the python library. It is
needed to add it to the libxml2mod_la_LIBADD flag for systems where it
is needed to specify the python library when linking this module
(no-undefined symbols allowed on Windows).  Therefore on Cygwin the
libxml2 python module build always fails because of undefined
references because the auto configury doesn't add the needed libpython
to the libxml2mod_la_LIBADD flag.
