Makefile.pre.in contains extra slash before $(DESTDIR) in two locations
as in the following:

sharedinstall:
    $(RUNSHARED) ./$(BUILDPYTHON) -E $(srcdir)/setup.py install \
        --prefix=$(prefix) \
        --install-scripts=$(BINDIR) \
        --install-platlib=$(DESTSHARED) \
        --root=/$(DESTDIR)

This causes Cygwin builds to fail if DESTDIR is set as follows:

creating //tmp
error: could not create '//tmp': No such host or network path

The following Open Group Specification:

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap04.html

indicates the following:

4.11 Pathanme Resolution 

[snip]

A pathname that begins with two successive slashes may be interpreted
in an implementation-defined manner,...

IMO, these extra slashes should be removed as indicated in the
attached patch.  OK to commit?  If so, to which branches?
