[commit] fix --with-python=auto handling when python is old

[Doug Evans]

Hi.

I've committed this patch which fixes building with old pythons.
They may not understand the python-config.py script but that shouldn't
cause the build to fail when configured with --with-python=auto
(which is the default).

2010-06-03  Doug Evans  <dje@google.com>

	* configure.ac: Don't fail if python is unusable when
	configured with --with-python=auto.
	* configure: Regenerate.
