PATCH: Cygwin 1.7 build system, reason: not all Makefiles honor installation into DESTDIR

When building the cygwin1.dll and associated pieces, it is desirable to 
use the proper runtime --prefix parameters to 'configure'. After 
building the tree, one might want to install it into a different base 
directory than 'prefix' using, e.g., 'make install 
DESTDIR=/my/own/dest', rather than installing into the running system. 
Unfortunately as it stands, the build system will install only a portion 
of the code into 'DESTDIR/prefix', and another portion simply into 'prefix'.

The attached patch corrects the relevant Makefiles to honor the DESTDIR 
variable.
