The following python 2.5 features were worked around:
* the sha module is used as a fallback when the hashlib module is
not available
* the 'any' built-in method was replaced with a 'for' loop
* a conditional expression was replaced with an 'if' statement
* the subprocess.check_call method was replaced by a call to
subprocess.Popen followed by a call to subprocess.wait with a
check of its return status
These changes allow the python infrastructure to be used with python 2.4
which is distributed with RedHat's RHEL 5, for example.
t5800 was updated to check for python >= 2.4 to reflect these changes.

The sed script intended to add a standard opening to python scripts
was non-compatible and overly complex. Simplifying it down to a set
of one-liners removes the compatibility issues of newlines. Moving
the environment alterations from the Makefile to the python scripts
makes also makes the scripts easier to run in-place.
Specifically, the new sed script:
- Alters the shebang line to use the configured Python.
- Alters any os.getenv("GITPYTHONLIB") calls to use @@INSTLIBDIR@@ as the
default. This will replace any existing default or add a default if
none is provided.
- Replaces the @@INSTLIBDIR@@ placeholder with the directory git installs
its python libraries to.
The last two steps could be combined into a single step, but is left
separate in case someone has another need for @@INSTLIBDIR@@ in their
script.

Currently the remote helper infrastructure is only used by the curl
helper, which does not give a good impression of how remote helpers
can be used to interact with foreign repositories. Since implementing
such a helper is non-trivial it would be good to have at least one
easy-to-follow example demonstrating how to implement a helper that
interacts with a foreign vcs using fast-import/fast-export.
The testgit helper can be used to interact with remote git
repositories by prefixing the url with "testgit::".
