It most definitly is! Daniel, the libxslt Configure script
reads the value given to '--with-python' into '$with_python'
and then does:

     if test -x "$with_python"

which tests  for existance _and_ executability of the value
(so i assume it looks for the python executable). The documentation
(./configure --help) says something different:

  --with-python=DIR    Build Python bindings if found
                ^^^^

Workarround: give the full path to the python executable to '--with-python'.
