We change all invocations of setup.py as follows:
* use $(PYTHON) instead of `python' so that the user can specify
an alternative python version if they need to. If not set it
defaults to `python' in Config.mk.
* pass --prefix=$(PREFIX) via a new make variable
$(PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG). This allows a user to suppress the
--prefix=... argument entirely by setting PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG=''.
This will work around the bug described here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/362570
where passing --prefix=/usr/local (which ought to have no effect as
/usr/local is the default prefix) changes which subdirectory
distutils chooses, and results in the files being installed in
site-packages which is not on the default search path.
Users not affected by this python packaging bug should not set
PYTHON_PREFIX_ARG and their builds will not be affected. (Provided
PREFIX did not contain spaces. People who put spaces in PREFIX are
being quite optimistic.)
