The "right" way to do that is probably to use AC_PATH_PROGS_FEATURE_CHECK and
have the "feature check" check whether it's Python 2. That would require a
minimum autoconf version of 2.62; on OS X, that means downloading and
installing autoconf on *all* versions of OS X. 2.62 might have been the first
version to go GPL3; fortunately, autoconf being GPL3 doesn't make the resulting
scripts GPL3, thanks to the AUTOCONF CONFIGURE SCRIPT EXCEPTION.
