I don't think it's a good idea to look at this module by module.  A
*lot* of code out there uses AM_PATH_PYTHON, and then does something
with the resulting value of @PYTHON at .  We should figure out the correct
thing to do that fixes all of:

0) "Normal" self-hosting build where /usr/bin/python = python2, and
   we can use both /usr/bin/env python or /usr/bin/python
1) OE-core cross compilation
2) Ubuntu's situation of /usr/bin/python = python 3, and we want
   to use /usr/bin/python2

Reverting the patch is going to break 2).
