Thanks for the patches, John,

I the Python patch with one modification; if PYTHON_PREFIX is
specified then DESTDIR is ignored. I assume that this is fine with the
package maintainers.

I'm still not happy with supporting DESTDIR though (and wish that
CMake had not decided to do so). I would prefer adding staging support
through a CMake configuration variable such as -DDESTDIR=. The main
problem with adding support for a build-time variable, is that we
really need to apply conditional logic at install time, but this does
not seem to be possible with CMake (correct me if wrong). Lucky for
us, for Python at least (thanks to the favourable interaction between
--root and --prefix) we can work around this.

Now, on to Ruby and Perl...
