Hmm should have nitpicked on the commit message, but that's all gone
now. The essence of things is:

 - If you have python2 available you need mako otherwise configure
will error out.
I have some patches that resolve this but they're not reviewed yet.

 - Otherwise python2+mako should not be used (even if available).
If you spot that's not the case please file a bug.

Hope that clears things up a bit.

Cheers
Emil
