Instead of changing the filename, how about installing them in
different directories?

Something like this could work:

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --includedir=${PREFIX}/include/${PKGBASE}

Then we can pull this directory into include scope with buildlink3.

But we should only go in this direction if we are prepared to make
all python modules work like this. I suspect there are a substantial
amount of packages that don't put headers in ${PYSITELIB}.
