Subject: [BUG] perf: cannot generate Python support without NEWT

Arnaldo,

Looks like some define is missing during the generation of the python support.
If you don't have newt then it fails to compile:

$ make
Makefile:430: newt not found, disables TUI support. Please install
newt-devel or libnewt-dev
PERF_VERSION = 2.6.38
Makefile:430: newt not found, disables TUI support. Please install
newt-devel or libnewt-dev
...
GEN perf-archive
GEN python/perf.so
In file included from util/evsel.h:10,
                 from util/python.c:6:
util/hist.h:105: fatal error: newt.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
