Why? For me, it's the right fix.

Previously (1 month ago?), make regen-all didn't use Parser.pgen: https://bugs.python.org/issue36733#msg340903

I take my statement back. This is the a proper solution, we don't need to copy around pure Python code just to be able to import it.

What keeps me confused is the empty Parser directory created by configure. Should it no longer be created?

Thanks for the review.

configure creates the empty mybuild/Parser subdirectory. I don't know why. At least, it doesn't prevent to build Python :-)
