The current stuff doesn't build on some systems.  It seems not-good to ship 
things that are known broken without being up-front about it.  (even if the 
brokenness is only on one version of one distro)

I think we should add a note someplace describing the problem and 
workaround(s) and include a pointer to it in NEWS and mention it in the 
release message.  yada yada...
(and explain why it wasn't fixed ...)


When I have problems like this, I manually setup a link in /usr/bin/ from 
python to python3
I saw mention of using PYTHON=xxx in a previous message.
Are there other hacks worth mentioning?
