it seems like an OPTION is the way to go, with the open question being
defaults to on or defaults to off.

What is the impact of HUGE_STACK_SIZE when it's compiled in, and how
will it affect those running python stuff who don't actually need it?

If it turns out that only a few ports need it and the impact is
undesirable those ports that do need it could be adapted to test for it
somehow and suggest that the user re-install python with the option.
