Summary: 2.1a2: make install fails for _tkinter

Initial Comment:
System: RedHat Linux 6.2

I did a straightforward build/install in my home directory (--prefix=$HOME), enabling the Tkinter module in Modules/Setup. During "make install", install complains that it can't create the directory $HOME/lib/python2.1/lib-dynload/Modules. Inspection of the top-level Makefile shows

SHAREDMODS= Modules/_tkinter$(SO)

which looks like the cause of the problem.

The build machinery underwent massive revisions after 2.1a2,
and this no longer seems to be a problem.  (In fact Makefile
no longer defines SHAREDMODS at all.)

This appears related to the change to use distutils to build library components where possible.  Assigned to Andrew since he's the expert for that change.
