configure script & Python 2.3.2

when compiling vegastrike I was wondering why my Python version 2.3.2 was not found...
looking into the configure script I found the line:

PYTHON_SHORT="2.2"

uhm, I think that should be removed, because configure will not find any Python >2.2 with this one

did that fix it for you

some early versions of python2.3 had some invalid writes to free'd memory--but they fixed that as of recently I think (made it through valgrind)

Sorry I added this line but it could simply be removed. The previous line is the generic one.
I did that because even with python2.2-devel, no python2.3-devel and both python2.2 and 2.3 runtime it will find python2.3 with that test.

ok, maybe a "--with-python-version=..." option for confiugre would help both of us here
