        * python/Makefile.in, , python/libstdcxx/__init__.py,
        python/libstdcxx/v6/__init__.py, python/libstdcxx/v6/printers.py,
        python/hook.in, python/Makefile.am: New files.
        * configure, Makefile.in: Rebuild.
        * acinclude.m4 (glibcxx_SUBDIRS): Add python.
        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add python.

pollutes global namespace under $PREFIX with

  share/libstdc++/python/libstdcxx/__init__.py
  share/libstdc++/python/libstdcxx/v6/__init__.py
  share/libstdc++/python/libstdcxx/v6/printers.py

which will create conflicts when installing several versions of GCC under
the same $PREFIX.

This is common practice under FreeBSD, for example, where the ports
have been using --program-suffix, --libdir, --libexecdir just fine for
many years.
