python 2.1 install problem

[Jørgen Ruud]

I have downloaded python 2.1, and done a configure with the
--prefix=/local swotch. But I want to install python to another
directory than /local, because i'll will use it as a package to
distribute other to machines. With some MAKEFILES you can use: 'make
DESTDIR=directory install' (where DESTDIR, is the destinationdirectory)
to install it to another place. Is this possible with python? (I know
it dosn't use the DESTDIR option)
