# AX_PYTHON_WITH_VERSION( [version], [path] )
# -----------------------------------------------------------------
# Handles the various --with-python commands.
# Input:
#   $1 is the minimun required python version
#   $2 is the optional search path for the python executable if needed
# Ouput:
#   PYTHON_USE (AM_CONDITIONAL) is true if python executable found
#   and --with-python was requested; otherwise false.
#   $PYTHON contains the full executable path to python if PYTHON_USE
#   is true.
#
# Example:
#   AX_PYTHON_WITH_VERSION([2.4])
#   or
#   AX_PYTHON_WITH_VERSION([2.4], "/usr/bin")
