The cmake change makes python visible from HOSTTOOLS. That isn't wrong
as such, it is a change in behaviour. If recipes don't set python
enabled/disabled explicitly, there is some fallout from that. I'd say
that is a bug in those recipes which aren't giving explicit
configuration to dependencies though.
