[PyKDE] SIP 2.1 fails compilation using ActivePython2.0

[Christian Lavoie]

I'm using ActivePython 2.0 from http://www.activestate.com on a Debian 
unstable system.

Debian doesn't yet have a native python2.0 package, so I thought I'd use the 
ActivePython in the meantime.

No other python interpreters are installed on the debian box. (Even if it is 
technically feasible, I wanted to make sure the compiler wouldn't confuse one 
with another)

Compilation fails with the following message:

Making all in sip
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/kde/sip-2.1/sip'
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/kde/sip-2.1/sip'

------------

I've added blank lines for readability (so _I_ could read it...)

Thing is VeePee 1.0 seems to compile fine. (So the interpreter seems to be 
sane, and python2.0 doesn't work strangely so far)

Any ideas?
