This is the last remaining included Python program that isn't
compatible with Python 3, and it doesn't make sense to fix that

***IMPORTANT***:
Not only has this program not been updated for Python 3, but it hasn't been
touched in such a long time that it still expects to use make rather than
SCons to do builds (and probably has outdated notions of the drivers as well).
Although updating it for Python 3 doesn't look too difficult, it doesn't make
sense to do so without first restoring it to correct operation with Python 2,
since the former fixes would otherwise be untestable.
