+dnl  Why do we need python?  
+
+dnl  Python scripts are used to auto-generate about 3000 lines of C
+dnl  and XML code that wraps (part of) the existing Gaim API so that
+dnl  it is now accessible through DBUS.
+
+dnl  Python is only required if --enable-dbus is used, and only for
+dnl  the build process to generate the code, not for running gaim.
+dnl  This autogenerated code is system-independent, so in principle we
+dnl  can generate all of it before shipping.  But I thought adding
+dnl  auto-generated stuff to the CVS is inelegant.  Alternatively,
+dnl  these python scripts could be rewritten in C (brrrr ...).
