[issue10677] "make altinstall" includes ABI codes in versioned executable name

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail.com>:

"make altinstall" is currently installing python3.2m rather than python3.2.

Since PEP 3149 makes no mention of changing the executable name, this should be fixed to correctly install the executable as python3.2.

I suspect this will also affect a "make install", but will be obscured in that case since the python3 symlink will still do the right thing. (I haven't tried it, since I don't want to clobber the Canonical provided 3.1 installation)
