`collective/hostout/fabfile.py` has:

api.run('./configure BASECFLAGS=-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE --prefix=%(prefix)s --enable-unicode=ucs4 --with-threads --with-readline --with-dbm --with-zlib --with-ssl --with-bz2 %(extra_args)s' % locals())
api.run('make clean')
api.run('make')
runescalatable('make altinstall')

But it fails as the last step:

make: *** No rule to make target `altinstall'. Stop.

What does the `altinstall` target do? Can it be changed to just `install`?
