On the other hand, the current Makefile.in installs the bindings into
Subversion's install directory, which I didn't need root as. Now to
use the system's default python in /usr/bin, it wants to install into
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/svn and I need root.
Now, I have root on my systems, but I don't like to install additional
packages into the system's python (or Perl for that matter). If I were
to do this, I'd much rather install my own compiled python into /opt and
install the bindings into there. So I'd rather see the old behavior.

Also, I'm not a python user, so couldn't the install-swig-py-ext target
just depend upon swig-py-ext? In your patch, the install doesn't depend
upon swig-py-ext. I'm guessing that the `install' command also does the
`build' command?
Best,
