And I just checked in what I hope are the final adjustments to BBv2
Python support: the ability to build against a --with-pydebug version
of Python.  Although our tests don't depend on it, that feature was
available in BBv1 and the Python build documentation describes it, so
it couldn't disappear.  I tested it on a wide variety of platforms
before checking it in, so hopefully nothing will break.  If something
goes wrong, it should be an easy fix (or rollback, if absolutely
necessary).
