On Red Hat 7.x, /usr/bin/python is Python 1 and /usr/bin/python2 is
Python 2. Our test suite works fine, because our configure script looks
for python2. But autogen.sh can't make use of that, of course, so it
winds up running gen-make.py through /usr/bin/python.

Red Hat 8.x fixes this situation (it no longer ships Python 1 at all),
but it would be helpful to some developers (myself included) if
autogen.sh could look for and use python2 in preference to python, as a
temporary measure. I'll check in a patch myself if I can decide how the
mechanics should work.
