Libtool is now required as of commit 38b7a52b61 (openvswitch: Use libtool and allow building shared libs).
It seems that a build requirement for Python slipped in a while back, for generating ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5, and no one complained, so we might as well make it official. (That will let us simplify some bits of the build, too, since they won't have to be conditional on Python anymore, so I'm all in favor of this change.)
