[PATCH v2 0/3] mingw: include the Python parts in the build

I've actually had a variation of the patch to include th Python bits in Git for Windows's build ever since February 2015.

Changes since v1:

 * Instead of setting and then overriding NO_PYTHON, it is now only defined
   in the relevant parts of the Windows-specific section of
   config.mak.uname.
 * As Junio pointed out, there is an unneeded empty definition of
   NO_GETTEXT; Let's remove it.
 * The same holds for NO_CURL: No need to define it to the empty value.

Johannes Schindelin (3):
  windows: include the Python bits when building Git for Windows
  mingw: remove unneeded `NO_GETTEXT` directive
  mingw: remove unneeded `NO_CURL` directive

     -    mingw: include the Python parts in the build
     +    mingw: remove unneeded `NO_CURL` directive
      
     -    While Git for Windows does not _ship_ Python (in order to save on
     -    bandwidth), MSYS2 provides very fine Python interpreters that users can
     -    easily take advantage of, by using Git for Windows within its SDK.
     +    In df5218b4c30 (config.mak.uname: support MSys2, 2016-01-13), we
     +    introduced support for building Git for Windows in the then-brand new
     +    Git for Windows v2.x build environment that was based off of MSYS2.
     +
     +    To do that, we split the non-msysGit part (that targeted MSys1) in two,
     +    and instead of sharing the `NO_CURL = YesPlease` setting with MSys1, we
     +    overrode it for MSYS2 with the empty value because we very much want to
     +    build Git for Windows with libcurl.
     +
     +    But that was unnecessary: we never set that variable beforehand,
     +    therefore there is no need to override it.
     +
     +    Let's just remove that unnecessary line.
