The Python makefile ignores some parameters when installing idle.

This may cause the .../idle/*.py files to be installed to the wrong 
directory.

The idleinstall target ignores the ${prefix} value in the Makefile.
Instead, it always installs its *.py files below /usr/local/.

Some of us don't install Python there.

The fix is to add a missing line to Makefile.pre.in.

Patch attached.
