Log:
Provide our own patched AM_PYTHON_CHECK_VERSION that requires python<3.0
Use the python found by configure to build po files.

Modified:
    lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_2_0_X/   (props changed)
    lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_2_0_X/config/lyxinclude.m4
    lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_2_0_X/po/Makefile.in.in

    lyx-devel/branches/BRANCH_2_0_X/status.20x

plese check that RELEASE-NOTES about python are still correct.

secondly there should be some sentence in 2.0.3 NEWS to inform
packagers that they need to check their patches for python 2
to work.

For NEWS, how about:
What's new in version 2.0.3?
----------------------------

LyX 2.0.3 still requires a python 2 interpreter, but steps have been taken to avoid problems on systems where python 3 is the default python interpreter. A python 2 interpreter is now automatically detected and used; distro maintainers are encouraged to verify their patch sets.

For RELEASE-NOTES, it says:
- LyX needs to be run under Python 2 and will not work properly on systems where Python 3 is the default binary. See bug #7030 to know how to fix this properly, since simple sheebang conversion in *.py files will not be enough.

This still holds for now, until Enrico's patch is applied to branch.

Cheers,
Julien
