+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] build: eliminate use of python execfile command
+
+As discussed in
+id:8cc9dd580ad672527e12f43706f9803b2c8e99d8.1405220724.git.wking@tremily.us,
+execfile is unavailable in python3.
+
+The approach of this commit avoids modifying the python module path,
+which is arguably preferable since it avoids potentially accidentally
+importing a module from the wrong place.
