Re: gnulib-tool: Use the Python implementation by default

Hi Dmitry, The biggest "thank you" is yours, since you did the majority of the work (my estimations: you 4 months, Collin 2 months, me 1 month). OO is hard. I was and am still impressed about how your dissection of the code into classes (GLConfig, GLModule, GLModuleSystem, etc.) stood the test of
