Right.

I agree that this should be part of the metadata.  Ideally, distutils would 
provide a way to tell it that only certain version of Python are supported, 
keys could be added for SETUP.cfg, and we could re-use that information for 
that silly configure script.  I know the need to be able to provide that 
information has been discussed for distutils, but I'm not sure if any 
implementation has been done.

When something appears there, it makes sense to re-use that.  It may be that 
we should add some support for the needed metadata to SETUP.cfg or 
DEPENDENCIES.cfg (since Python is a dependency!).  We'd be able to use it for 
the generated configure script now, and use it again via distutils once 
there's a way to pass the information to distutils.
