I've never actually edited setupext.py in order to build matplotlib using
Apple's python, and it has never been a problem for me. I guess it's because
system python uses the standard include locations (unlike fink and macports).

I'm quite surprised it works. But my changes should not break that
(unless your /usr/local contains anything that matplotlib needs and that
is not compatible with Apple's python).
