[Gdal-dev] ng-python build

[William Kyngesburye]

As I worked on some OSX framework build issues, I noticed a couple  
odd ng-python build items.

- After configuring to build ng-python, make doesn't build *any*  
python bindings.  It looks like the makefile default target doesn't  
refer to the swig-target, just the old py-target.  BUT, install does  
- the install-actions target runs a make install in the swig dir,  
which ends up building ng-python.

- ng-python installs in $prefix.  This ends up being installed where- 
ever GDAL is installed, in the subdir thereof specified in the python  
distutils (something like lib/python2.5/site-packages).  Is this  
intentional?  Shouldn't it be left completely up to distutils so it  
gets installed in the default python site-packages dir?

Otherwise that would mean having to add the GDAL $prefix/lib/... to  
PYTHONPATH.
