How else would you suggest running waf under python3? When giving your
answer, keep in mind that you can't assume that /usr/bin/python exists
at all. So you can't, for example, run it under /usr/bin/python, pass a
--with or --python flag, and have it re-exec() itself under python3.

That's not at all how `env` works. It definitely should not take one
executable name (python) and run another (python3).
