make website fails on platforms where python3 is the default.







Use the python found by ./configure to build the website.

When building with WEBSITE_ONLY_BUILD, $(PYTHON) will default to python (as
defined at the top of the file).  We do that because we don't run ./configure on
the web server.

I _think_ this will be safe enough, but it might be nice to change the upper
definition to $(PYTHON) = python2

I did not touch that part specifically because I do not want to break anything
with the current machine that runs this build. Is there a python2 on the host
machine where this command would normally be run? AFAIK the python2 alias is
only installed if python3 is also installed on the system, which might or might
not be the case.

Cheers,
Julien

Hmm, good point.  I don't know; Phil would need to check.  Let's
just accept this patch without fussing about the other stuff,
then.
