Summary: Python2.3b1 makefile improperly installs IDLE

Initial Comment:
The Makefile.pre.in for Python 2.3b1 has a bug which may cause idle
to be installed in the wrong place.

The bug occurs at the idleinstall target.

When the Makefile calls .../idle/setup.py, it passes --install-platlib,
but it fails to pass --install-purelib.

This means that setup.py will always try to install the .../idlelib/*.py
files within /usr/local, regardless of what parameters are passed to
the Makefile.

The fix is to add
     --install-purelib=$(LIBDEST)
to the rule for idleinstall.
