Yes, I think it would. I've tested it (I've got Python 2.6 installed in c:\Python26\, so with your fix I can re-enable it by setting "PYTHON_PATH=/c/Python26/python.exe" in config.mak.

That doesn't work for me, at least not out of the box. NO_PYTHON is still defined, it's just defined to an empty string. I guess we could change to Makefile to accept empty NO_PYTHON as enabled, but since Hannes' suggestion works fine, I think I'll stick with it, even if it's a little inconsistent with the other stuff in the MinGW-section of Makefile.

I'll resend a bit later.
