joyent/node — Issue #2113: [patch included] Build files use python3 to run python 2.x code

Node's build files use 'python' and '/usr/bin/python' when they should be using 'python2' and '/usr/bin/python2'. This causes an error during compilation on some linux distros ('python' points to python3).

Most distros symlink python2 to 2.x-compatible interpreters. I'm not sure what the situation is for windows users.
