AM_PATH_PYTHON checks your path for python and sets PYTHON to the path
or : if it's not found. If you just set PYTHON=false or something not
:, it will pass the error check. You also have to get device-manager
out of the SUBDIRS in the tools/Makefile* since it would bomb trying
to pycompile the sources. It's a simple sed.
