I would like to make it easy for users to invoke gnulib-tool.py
for users, without changing their autogen.sh / bootstrap / Makefile.devel /...
scripts or recipes. I'll do this by introducing an environment variable,
say, GNULIB_TOOL_PYTHON so that people can do
$ GNULIB_TOOL_PYTHON=yes ./autogen.sh
instead of
$ ./autogen.sh
This will be a couple of lines of code in gnulib-tool, to invoke
gnulib-tool.py with the same arguments.
The prerequisite for this is only that gnulib-tool.py is properly
invokable through python or python3, and that it sits in the 'master'
branch. It is *not* a requirement that it is "mature enough".
