If one invokes some distutils code too early, this function will try to read ``_config_vars`` before it is initialized. http://bpaste.net/show/1DOGhL8sdnkPyLTL06AZ/ is an example traceback that results.

The attached patch uses the public API which guarantees that it is defined.

Thanks for the patch, Alex, and sorry about the bug.  The fix looks good.  I've added a test that should be valid whether or not a compiler is available and, I hope, on Windows (I haven't tested it there).

Test looks reasonable to me.
