Agreed. Once I've got this figured out I'll write the author. But check this:

[root@hermes ZPatterns]# cp /usr/lib/python2.1/config/Makefile.pre.in .
[root@hermes ZPatterns]# make -f Makefile.pre.in boot
rm -f *.o *~
rm -f *.a tags TAGS config.c Makefile.pre python sedscript
rm -f *.so *.sl so_locations
VERSION=`python -c "import sys; print sys.version[:3]"`; \
installdir=`python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"`; \
exec_installdir=`python -c "import sys; print sys.exec_prefix"`; \
make -f ./Makefile.pre.in VPATH=. srcdir=. \
         VERSION=$VERSION \
         installdir=$installdir \
         exec_installdir=$exec_installdir \
         Makefile
make[1]: Entering directory 
`/apache/ZopeInstallation/Zope_software_home/lib/python/Products/ZPatterns'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/python1.5/config/Makefile', 
needed by `sedscript'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/apache/ZopeInstallation/Zope_software_home/lib/python/Products/ZPatterns'
make: *** [boot] Error 2

So, how do I configure the target?
TIA,
