Because we are linking against the build tree instead of the installed
location. This can cause linker problems if there are some API changes
in Subversion since the last time you compiled as distutils doesn't use
libtool.

Its not needed, build is the default subdirectory and you can't pass
that command line option to "install" anyway. If we still want it, we'd
make a setup.cfg file that has the param in there.

The prefix option is a bug. If Subversion installs to /usr/local and
Python is in /usr, then the installer won't work. Same problem if
Python is /usr/local and Subversion is /usr. Distutils will
automatically determine whether to install into /usr or /usr/local based
on the version of python thats used when run the script. Since
$(PYTHON) is overridable, this should work for all cases and installations.
