Yea, I though of this already, but thanks.  It does work for now, but
ideally I'd like to check for python, verify that is 2.x, and only check
for python2 if the latter is acceptable.  Doing so will require a loop
like above.  And I'm also concerned with the whacko behavior that
AC_PATH_PROG demonstrates in my example.  Is this a bug?
I don't have 2.53 installed, so I'm not sure how it handles the example.

Thanks again!
