Sorry, but I was just talking about how to specify paths :-(

I don't think the --with-python2.5, --with-python2.4 options are a
good idea. How about --with-python=2.5 and search CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS
for that version?

--with-python unspecified: use it if we find it
--with-python: use it if we find it, else fail. Try 2.5 then 2.4.
--without-python: no python
--with-python=2.5: only try 2.5; else fail

How does that sound?

No need to rework the patch right now if you don't want; I need to
look at the rest of it still :-)
