Summary: make install change: Allow $DESTDIR to be relative
Initial Comment:
This patch allows the $DESTDIR variable used in 'make
install' to be a relative path. It also avoids
constructing filenames starting with double slashes
('//') when DESTDIR is an absolute path.
Tested on RedHat 9.0 Linux on x86.

Agreed. I have never seen $DESTDIR prefixed with / in makefiles, so this
patch should go in.
I don't see the point of making --prefix relative.
you can do
--prefix=`cd ../relative ; pwd`
if you need relative.
Putting relative paths in makefiles is asking for trouble, as the Makefile
will call other makefiles in subdirectories, which would need to pass extra
../ overrides of prefix.

That seems reasonable, however I believe it should be a
separate change since codewise the two changes are unrelated.

I'd also like to see the argument to 'configure --prefix='
also be relative. Could this patch be expanded in that
direction?
