(1) Rename the original script so it is called 'foo.in' (for each
original script called 'foo')

(2) At the top of 'foo.in' place the following two lines:

#!@PYTHON@
# @configure_input@

(3) In configure.ac, you have to make two changes:

  (a) in AC_CONFIG_FILES, add an entry for 'foo'

  (b) add a new line AC_SUBST([PYTHON]) after the current
      line AC_SUBST([PYTHON_INCLUDES])

(4) Run 'autoconf'.

./configure will then generate 'foo' from 'foo.in', replacing all
@...@ sequences, so for example the first line above would be replaced
with #!/usr/local/bin/python.
