as of release 2.1 qmtest has a new build system which allows you to
run 'python setup.py install' (and so the python tool you run during the
build/install will be the python tool that is used by the installed tool,
whether it's called 'python' or 'python2').

However, the toplevel 'README' file still suggests to use 'configure; make install;'.
That appears to be a slim wrapper around the former, so I'm not sure why
this is still suggested, or even necessary. Mark ?
