Unless your bin/python is actually 2.5 python.

I see two possible ways out:

1) patch a lot of python using ports to call ${PYTHON} instead of python

2) create a tool, that will set up PREFIX/bin/python to be a symlink or
   a copy of a python2X binary the user desires to use at a moment,
   prior the start of compilation. `use.perl port' equivalent, really.

Approach number one takes a lot of patching. Approach number two imposes
an administrative burden on end users.

We should pick on of these approaches, and commit to it.

Debate?
