[gpgme PATCH 2/3] build: python: add prepare target

[Alon Bar-Lev]

Hi,

In gpgme-1.8 we added a "prepare" target to allow downstream packagers
to build python using their own python
wrappers skipping the custom autoconf/automake sequences.

The sequence was:
./configure
make
cd lang/python
make prepare
# run setup.py using standard distro distutils handling

In gpgme-1.9 this was broken as once again there is an assumption that
configure detects python versions and automake is capable of running
distutils, both are wrong assumptions.

It is OK that you try to improve the automake build/install of the
python module, however, please provide support for downstream to skip
this part without hacking/patching the package.

I will try to submit a patch to deal with this, please keep this
functionality intact.

Thanks!
Alon
