Gregory Szorc d2ae2988b7 Bug 792202 - Make mozboot work with Python 2.6.1; r=jhammel DONTBUILD
Python 2.6.1 is what ships on OS X 10.6 and we want to support mozboot
there.

We include 3 fixes:

1) optparse doesn't like unicode as its initial argument
2) __init__(**kwargs) doesn't like unicode keys
3) subprocess does not have check_output

We took the easy solution of removing unicode_literals. This should have
no significant consequences.

mozboot - Bootstrap your system to build Mozilla projects
=========================================================

This package contains code used for bootstrapping a system to build
mozilla-central.

This code is not part of the build system per se. Instead, it is related
to everything up to invoking the actual build system.

If you have a copy of the source tree, you run:

    python bin/bootstrap.py

If you don't have a copy of the source tree, you can run:

    curl https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/raw-file/default/python/mozboot/bin/bootstrap.py | python -

The bootstrap script will download everything it needs from hg.mozilla.org
automatically!
