+# This is very simple POSIX sh script which
+# identifies the first matching
+# python3 identifier in $PATH and produces
+# configure.py from configure.py.in, and then
+# calls the new executable configure.py.
+#
+# It should be portable on Unices. Report bugs on
+# the bugtracker if you discover that it isn't
+# working as intended.
