Hmm, this patch isn't quite right. I tested on an Ubuntu system where I
don't have the devel package installed for python, and to my surprise,
./configure now fails, where it used to succeed without building any
python bindings:
configure: error: You must install python-devel to build Python bindings
In reality, we want the default to be --with-python=check, which
gracefully switches to --with-python=no if python is not present, and
only issue the AC_MSG_ERROR on an explicit --with-python=yes without
python bindings. I ran out of time to look at this today, but think it
needs to be fixed before 0.9.1.
