?

It should do that, since it wraps AX_WITH_PROG. A bug is lying around 
otherwise ...

configure.ac:

AC_INIT
AX_WITH_PYTHON

configure --help:

...
Optional Packages:
  --with-PACKAGE[=ARG]    use PACKAGE [ARG=yes]
  --without-PACKAGE       do not use PACKAGE (same as --with-PACKAGE=no)
  --with-python=[PATH]  absolute path to python executable
...

Am I missing something ?
