Maybe this is a "hidden feature" on configure. :-) But to get
a option --enable-python there have to be a macro call
AC_ARG_ENABLE(python, ...), and there isn't such.

This looks as the error, which I get on my first try to build pysimulavr 
module. So, I think, one of my next steps will be, to replace 
pysimulavr.i with my version and introduce a configure option 
--enable-python. In the moment I'll release it on 
http://github.com/tomk/simulavrxx/tree/dev-stable in the next days, if 
Onno is ready for that (and we don't get bugs on that) it will be taken 
over to Onno's repo.
