Please include your ./configure command too

I've tested the following patch with both ./configure --prefix=/tmp/python and ./configure --without-pymalloc --prefix=/tmp/python.  Both seem to work as expected.

Note that this patch fixes a small drive-by bug I found, and it makes editing Makefile.pre.in nicer for Emacsers (without I hope affecting other editor users).

The patch works correctly for me.
