 GRASS can be configured for a specific copy of Python, which could be
 needed if a different version than desired is first in your PATH (maybe a
 newer or experimental, incompatible version).  But, when compiling vdigit
 and wx nviz for the wx GUI, "python" is used, which may not be the same as
 was configured.  This could cause compilation problems, especially on OSX
 where setup tools compilation is very particular about the
 MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.

 It looks like platform.make would need another variable to hold the python
 program path, created from "python-config --prefix".

 A quick fix until this is done is to temporarily add the desired python
 bin to the shell PATH for the GRASS build.
