Hmmm... So it does.

But using "_PYTHON" feels like the right general approach to pursue.  So
either I've overlooked a subtlety in following that (my bug), or there
might be an automake problem (automake bug).  Either way, it would be nice
to understand a little more about this problem before (or at least in
parallel to) simply reverting it.

If it's our (my!) bug, we can fix it.

If it's an automake bug, we are honour-bound to report it back to the
automake maintainers.  (And we (heartbeat) might then need to revert my
patch as a local "necessary evil"(*) expedient workaround.)

Andrew: let's each generate the two Makefiles corresponding to the two
versions of the "Makefile.am", and try to see what their significant
difference is.
