[issue2233] Makefile.pre.in contains extra slash before $(DESTDIR) which can cause Cygwin build to fail

Sorry for the delay, but I was on vacation and then recovering from 
vacation...

You are correct that my initial patch does not handle the case when 
DESTDIR is not specified.  Your suggestion will work, but seems hacky.

What about adding the defaulting of DESTDIR to "/" to my initial 
patch?  This seems cleaner.  See my second patch for the details.

If this approach is acceptable, then feel free to move the defaulting 
of DESTDIR to a more appropriate place in Makefile.pre.in.  I wasn't 
sure where to put this change.
