AC_CONFIG_FILES in configure.ac works well only with Makefiles.
Other files have to be handled by Makefile.am so depedencies

This version builds only one version of Python packages. If you want to
build for Python 2 & 3 call configure twice using different --with-python

Currently VPATH builds do not work for various reasons.
This should be fixed later on.
