I'm indifferent either way. python3 is a hard link to python3.2, so I
thought we'd make everything that way for consistency. Higher-level
links (python/idle/pydoc/python-config) have to be soft links so that
if, e.g., python points to python3, and python3 is then pointed to
another location, python also gets changed.
