Right, and since the source files are removed, the __pycache__ files are *not* 
built. Hence my negative answer to Matthias.

I miss your point, msg271515  said earlier "the patch removes all *.py files".
The patch does a sourceless distribution: no source and no __pycache__ files 
(with the exception mentionned in msg271515).
Changing the issue title with '--enable-sourceless-distribution' which is a 
better name and would have maybe avoided this confusion :)

title: add the '--enable-legacy-pyc-files' option to configure -> add the 
'--enable-sourceless-distribution' option to configure
