Anybody using the old waf?

Some (most?) distros have a tiny package that sets up python to go to 
python3.

On Debian, it's python-is-python3, and buildprep installs it.

On Fedora, it's python-unversioned-command-3.13.2
  I'll add it to buildprep

On FreeBSD, python311-3.11.11 installs python3 and python3-3_4 sets up a 
link so python gets python3.  I don't know if it does anything else.

On FreeBSD, ./buildprep -n says:
  pkg install bison python3
  ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/bin/python
  pkg install ca_root_nss
I think the ln step is bogus.  So I'll remove it.

buildprep has simpilar code for NetBSD.  I'll have to check to see if that 
is needed.
