So, "make install" would install a python3.0 executable and make python3 a
symlink.  Makes sense to me. "make bdfl-install" could also create a symlink
to python3 called "python". ;-)

Anybody who installed multiple versions of Python on their computer today -
at least in the Unixoid world - already has to know about "make altinstall"
so they don't accidentally obliterate the python symlink.  I don't
understand what all the fuss is.
