Problem with python bindings

[Phil Longstaff]

Without "--enable-python-bindings", SWIG_PYTHON_OPTS in src/optional/python-
bindings/Makefile is the null string.  In this case, the swig command creating 
gnucash_core.c from gnucash_core.i seems to create tcl bindings.  In my case, 
I hadn't enabled the python bindings, but "make check" still required 
gnucash_core.c.
