Elliott Hird 075847031b Rewrite the bootstrap script in Python
This allows trouble-free builds on platforms with non-standard Python
executable names. As a bonus, it passes the arguments received on to
configure.py, so you don't have to reconfigure to build in a
non-standard manner.

Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed.
http://martine.github.com/ninja/
See the manual -- http://martine.github.com/ninja/manual.html or
doc/manual.asciidoc included in the distribution -- for background
and more details.
To build, run ./bootstrap.py. It first blindly compiles all non-test
source files together, then re-builds Ninja using itself. You should
end up with a 'ninja' binary in the source root. Run './ninja -h' for
help.
There is no installation step. The only file of interest to a user
is the resulting ninja binary.
