libqgispython is not meant to be used by anything else than QGIS
application itself.
So now the question is (and something I've wondered about) - just how
does this python support work? Does it execute the python program (as
found in the user's PATH)? Does it depend on linking to the python
library to find some python start/init symbol?
I'm guessing it runs or loads the python executable, because of the
problems we're having when other python binaries are found before the
one used to build Qgis. If this is the case, we just need to depend
on the run/load of python to link in the python library, and
libqgispython itself doesn't need to link directly to python.
