[Python-3000] "make (alt)?install" with all the recent structural changes

I'm guessing we should be in the habit of zapping our Python 3.0 installations before executing "make (alt)?install", correct? Looking at my local Py3k install I see both urllib the package and urllib the module: % find /Users/skip/local/lib/python3.0 -name 'urllib*' /Users/skip/local/li
