Perhaps reasonable, but:

jwp@torch[]:python/release31-maint/Include 0% ls /src/build/py32pg90/bin/py*
/src/build/py32pg90/bin/pydoc3            /src/build/py32pg90/bin/python3-config
/src/build/py32pg90/bin/python3.2-config
/src/build/py32pg90/bin/python3            /src/build/py32pg90/bin/python3.2

3.x doesn't have a "python" link by default, so the user will have to make one in order to get ./configure to select
it.
