[gpsd-dev] [PATCH] Build: add the configuration variable python_libdir.

[Beat Bolli]

This lets the user choose the Python install directory.

With the default settings, gpsd is installed under /usr/local,
except for the Python parts, which are installed in the system
directories under /usr/lib/pythonx.y/site-packages.

This option allows to install the Python parts under /usr/local.

Tested with "scons install 
python_libdir=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages".
