--destdir work on install rather than configure.
--prefix works on configure not install

That doesn't seem obvious to me, but that stuff is probably above my pay 
grade.

Looks good to me.

I'm using PYTHONPATH because it was the thing to do ages ago and I never took 
it out.

On Fedora, python sys.path doesn't include /usr/local/whatever unless you put 
that in PYTHONPATH.  But /usr/local isn't on my default search path either.  
It seems reasonable to me to require a PYTHONPATH when we require hacking the 
normal search path.

It might be appropriate to give a warning/error message if the install target 
for pylib isn't on the python path.  Should we have a similar warning for 
executables?
