xcb-proto depends on python >= 2.5

[wavydavy]

configuring xcb-proto returns the following:

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/lib/pkgusr/install -c

checking whether build environment is sane... yes

checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /usr/lib/pkgusr/mkdir -p

checking for gawk... gawk

checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes

checking for xmllint... no

configure: WARNING: xmllint not found; unable to validate against schema.

checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.5... none

configure: error: no suitable Python interpreter found

Yea, but that's only half the solution. Xcb-proto also requires the pyexpat python module, which is built by (you guessed it!) building Expat before python.

Oh, and why future? If you ask me, it should be assigned to 6.5. I'll have a patch shortly...

See #2943.

Replying to willimm:

This is incorrect. Expat is not a dependency of Python. pyexpat extension gets built either way...Python is 3rd in my stack, behind bc and openssl, and pyexpat still gets built.
