GDB Python is kept compatible backwards to python-2.4 (although testsuite is
lacking that compatibility). At least Red Hat even needs that compatibility
for RHEL-5.
Added CentOS-5 (and CentOS-6) for the automatic nightly regression testing of
CVS HEAD.
Checked in. I do not think autoconf-checking is worth this case.
Thanks,
Jan
