If we don't have a concrete plan for how stuff like the shebang lines
work, the mess is just going to get worse.  And ideally, we share
infrastructure (e.g. configure options) here between e.g. glib,
gobject-introspection, and pygobject.  At present, all 3 behave
differently.

I think what I want is something like:

--with-python-major=2/3/auto

As I mentioned before, this is easier to work with for build systems and
more reliable than environment variables.  

As far as the shebang problem above...we need some plan.  I suggest
interested parties jump into the bug linked above.
