Re: install is not default (--prefix=)

Good catch ! The problem stems from the hybrid build system using
a mix of python's distutils and configure/make.
I appears distutils defines the default prefix to be the same
as that of the python version being used during the build/install,
while configure defaults to /usr/local.

So, the correction includes

a) a fix to the 'config' command to always specify --prefix when calling configure and
b) a fix for the documentation (README)

Thanks for reporting this !
