--with-python now checks for it.

Note that you only need to use --with-python if you want to compile
Python extensions (the Python digitiser module and the Python bindings
for the GRASS libraries), and that requires SWIG.

If you just want the wxPython GUI (without the digitiser module), you
don't need to use --with-python; the GUI code is installed regardless
(obviously, you need Python and wxPython to actually use it).
