Python modules are linked using $(CXX); I'm guessing this is empty,
probably due to --with-cxx not being used.

AFAICT, it doesn't make sense to use --with-python without --with-cxx,
but configure doesn't check for this. The vdigit and nviz Makefiles
check, but swig/Makefile doesn't; I'll fix that.
