  Thanks.

  I have now added DESTDIR support, which was also missing.  It
monkey-patches the regular env.Install and env.InstallAs, so as to need
changes in apps.

 This and future changes I make will be available in a mercurial tree
published at http://telecom.inescporto.pt/~gjc/hg/pygtk-scons/

  Next I'll try to make 'scons distcheck' verify that DESTDIR is
respected for all installed files.

  Cheers.
