This I don't quite understand. Autogen is python only. There are no platform-dependent files there at all. So, what is the problem that you're fixing? (This is not saying that I mind the solution, I question the reason.)

On platform a, python is found in /path/to/my/first/python, however on my platform b python is to be found at /somewhere/else/in/my/filesystem/is/python. My shell (correctly IMO) thinks that an executable file with an invalid shebang cannot be executed. Note, this is not a problem as long as your python is always in the same place, e.g. /usr/bin/python. This is not the case for me, as there's either no python shipped with the OS, or it's so outdated that I want to replace it with my own version.

The solution is wrong, checkin to fix it follows shortly I hope. ... no, I cannot get the ***!*!@@#$(@!*@** thing right. So if you know how in the python world you are supposed to build into a build dir (such that the install target also uses the build dir) than I urge you to fix it properly. I will reverse my checkin, as it breaks installation right now. What a mess.
