Seems when cross compiling on x86_64 Debian (most likely Ubuntu too)
the host's paths will be added too causing build failures for some extensions.

Python packs some pip installation script during the build,
which looks like a better idea to use for the python-pip
and/or python-setuptools packages.

That would allow for files (in filespecs) to be indented.
As it is now, the files need to be added at the begginning of the line.

Seems that using += adds a space in the PYTHONPATH.
Could be some other error, but at least this way
it's sure to not leave any spaces.
Thanks @Xuefer.

Some symbols are not found (tgetnum and BC).
Looks like the termcap lib, which should be in libncurses(w)
but maybe some build param would be required.

Redefine python-full as all-pages-minus-a-few-that-don't make sense.
Remove all other packages.

This fix is quite critical since it fixes copying the libpython shared lib.
The previous source folder we've used is ok, it has the shared lib,
but libpython2.7.so is not a symlink of libpython2.7.so.1.0, but
rather a copy of it.
Which means that libpython2.7.so takes twice as much space
on the target's flash.

Python's build scripts prefer ncursesw, and if it is detected
it will be used.
The problem will occur when linking, since ncursesw libs may not be
installed if not added as deps, but the sources will be compiled
against ncursesw.
Reference from Python's HISTORY file:
Patch #1428494: Prefer linking against ncursesw over ncurses library.

This mostly helps to avoid confusion when modules are cross-compiled.
Otherwise build folders are named with the host's platform name.

This will reduce the bloat when users will want to compile in their
Python C extensions.
There will be a initial bloat (several kb) if just Python
is installed, but that will be compensated when users will add more
C extensions.
During the build we also have to add Python's PKG_BUILD_DIR
so that the shared lib is found when compiling Python's
built-in C extensions.

The target's PYTHON_INC_DIR should take precedence over the host's
include dir when cross-compiling.

Seems that the Python C extensions were being
(or at least trying to be) build using '/usr/include' as the first
include folder.
Seems this issue was already fixed on MacOS X and now we've extended
it for our case.

Seems that this allows some goofs, because some files
silently do not get copied and the build succeeds, even though
it shouldn't.

Seems that if you add a package folder this would also
include the compiled python files which increases fw size.
