Hello!

I've tried to compile this on my Arch Linux computer, but it won't.

The following commands are used.
```
$ PYTHON=python2 PYTHON_VERSION=2.7 ./autogen.sh

$ PYTHON=python2 PYTHON_VERSION=2.7 ./configure PYTHON_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/python2.7" --prefix=/usr
```
which leads to the following output:

configure: error: in `/home/roobie/share/Dropbox/devel/geany-zencoding':
configure: error:
Could not link test program to Python. Maybe the main Python library has been
installed in some non-standard library path. If so, pass it to configure,
via the LDFLAGS environment variable.
Example: ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/non-standard-path/python/lib"
============================================================================
ERROR!
You probably have to install the development version of the Python package
for your distribution. The exact name of this package varies among them.
