This is completely the wrong way to support these. This is one of the
reasons I didn't use the FreeBSD port, because that's how they do it.

These features should be implemented by pkgsrc/x11/py-Tkinter and
pkgsrc/misc/py-readline packages instead.

Conditionalizing every possible desired add-on feature into the main
package is bad, and makes distributing binary compiled packges much
harder.
