the conftest stuff is not a file, the code is in configure.  If you  
look around, in configure or config.log, you should find how the  
check for py-gnome is done.

At this point, it might be a good idea to notify the gramps  
developers.  They are the ones who actually wrote that stuff and  
developers usually welcome the opportunity to make their software  
easier to use for everyone.
