Yeh, ideally we'd have a much more orthogonal and understandable way of 
declaring exactly what we want from python.
Even after my change it's still confusing when packages include both 
tool.mk and application.mk because ordering matters, and if you include
application.mk first then you end up with a full dependency, but last 
and you don't.
And I'd like PYTHON_FOR_BUILD_ONLY=yes or USE_PYTHON=build to mean "do 
not buildlink".
