Seems to me like boost::python needs to be able to point at both directories. Maybe PYTHONINCLUDES could be a colon-separated list of directories which gets broken up into multiple -I flags. I suppose that sort of change is a bit late for v1?

Considering that v2 was released a few weeks ago, that sounds about right ;-)
