Without this patch, DESTDIR is not passed to python setup.py, so build
systems that use a staging sandbox prior to installing in real-root,
such as Gentoo, cannot build+install it.

Note, this probably is not the right way to do this; it unconditionally
passes --root=${DESTDIR}, so will probably cause issues when DESTDIR
is not set. I am a cmake noob and could not get it to do the right
thing conditionally.
