Summary: Makefile installs pydoc incorrectly

Initial Comment:
The 2.2.1 Makefile installs the pydoc program 
incorrectly.

The Makefile calls setup.py to install various modules 
and miscellanea.  This script also installs pydoc 
at /usr/local/pydoc.

The bug is that pydoc is *always* installed 
in /usr/local, regardless of what install directory 
might have been preferred.

Here is a patch to Makefile which fixes the problem:

+	# The distributed Makefile doesn't pass --
install-scripts to setup.py, thus causing setup.py
+	# to assume that it should put its executable 
scripts (specifically the pydoc program) into
+	# /usr/local, instead of where we want 
things.  We overcome this by explicitly specifying the
+	# --install-scripts option to setup.py.  This 
is hard to figure out; the best place to see the

is ./Lib/distutils/commands/install.py.
