It would be possible, but difficult, the make system has at least seven 
stages 
from unpacking the sources to "deliver"-ing them into the solver tree. It 
uses both shell and perl combined and would be a mamoth job to get them all 
"fixed"
each "module" (subdir of oo_src) has a prj directory with 2 files build.lst 
and d.lst (build and deliver lists) so in theory it would be possible to 
manually copy the right files using those files for templates (more files 
than listed were  needed for/by Python but I found them and did it already) 
The problem is the dependency system, something we have already copied might 
be built as a dependancy because the correct marker file isn't found. The 
following shows the checks for Python alone, all these files are created to 
mark the finishing of that "phase" of build/deliver
ls oo_1.1_src/python/unxlngi4.pro/misc/build/
Python-2.3.2             so_addfiles_so_python    so_configured_so_python  
so_patched_so_python     so_unpacked_so_python
python-inst              so_built_so_python       so_installed_so_python   
so_predeliver_so_python

Of course if you want/need more information I can help.
