Title: Additions re: Ubuntu PPA for Rust

The first change lets DESTDIR be used with `make install` to set the installation destination independently, as is required in Launchpad's build process. See http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html and http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/modify.en.html#id459110.

(Note that there is a possibility of some conflict happening regarding src/comp/back/rpath.rs, which relies on the prefix as a fallback path.)

The second adds a Python script to src/etc which can be used to grab the latest snapshots.
$ mkdir dl
$ CFG_SRC_DIR=. python src/etc/latest-unix-snaps.py

Cheers,
Kevin
