Used a) since i'm messing with environment anyway in the bootstrap
script, and i don't know what eprefix i will bootstrap at compile time,
so b) isn't possible.
Now the right python is found, but i have another problem: there is no
rpath hardcoded in python, so it doesn't find python2.5.so...... Need to
mess a little more with the environment :)
