In the 1.33.1 beta or the current CVS, all you'd have to do is set
PYTHON_VERSION=2.4 as long as you've installed it in the default
location.  In fact, now the default PYTHON_VERSION *is* 2.4, so you
shouldn't need to do anything to get it to find the right Python
installation, unless you used a non-default installation location, in
which case set PYTHON_ROOT.  It's all explained in
