Summary: DESTDIR variable patch

Initial Comment:
This patch adds DESTDIR variable feature known from
automake generated Makefile's. It simplifies packaging
task and is useful for distro (i.e. PLD, RedHat,
Debian) developers.

For example, for rpm, one can specify in %install section:

  make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT

then Python will be installed under $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
directory.
Otherwise distro developer is forced to specify:

  make install \
       BINDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_bindir} \
       SCRIPTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir} \
       LIBDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_libdir} \
       MANDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_mandir} \
       INCLUDEDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_includedir} \
       CONFINCLUDEDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_includedir}


The patch has been tested on Linux.
