That is my point. We can use a recent version of python since I suppose 
recent versions support the same platforms as older version (probably 
even more). For all platforms that do not have python, we'll just 
recover all build instructions into a script.

The '-n' flag is standard in BBv2. Flushing everything to a script does 
not need to be supported explicitly, all platforms support redirection 
of the standard output.
