Perberos/Mate-Extra — Issue #4: mate-image-viewer python configuration error (ubuntu build script)

The configure script for `mate-image-viewer` fails on python version detection:

```
checking whether Python support is requested... autodetect
checking whether /usr/bin/python2 version >= 2.3... configure: error: too old
cro@shiny:~/Workspace/Mate-Extra/mate-image-viewer$ which python
/usr/bin/python
cro@shiny:~/Workspace/Mate-Extra/mate-image-viewer$ /usr/bin/python --version
Python 2.7.2+
cro@shiny:~/Workspace/Mate-Extra/mate-image-viewer$
```

The script in `distros/ubuntu/build` sets `PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2` but `which python` returns `/usr/bin/python`.

Changing the script to `PYTHON=/usr/bin/python` allows the configuration and build to complete.
