Thanks, Adam, good catch. :)

Indeed, this has been mentioned on IRC just recently and needs to be
corrected in our (interim) patches as well as upstream. FWIW, this code
applies to systems with a custom built Python only. Affected garballs
are bootstrap/gamin, platform/libxml2 and platform/libxslt.

These patches (well, the corrected ones hopefully) will be part of the
next release of the above packages and where included by us, cause
releases where not done in time for GNOME 2.15.1.
