I haven't looked at the patch yet, but I would like to encourage others
to help make this work for as many systems as possible. It's so much
nicer when Vim can be build with Python and the binary distributed to
systems where Python is not available. Less versions, more flexibility.
I assume that for building the Python headers and tools are still
required, thus it only helps for when distributing a Vim binary.
