Implement the outcome of a discussion on the -dev list re. the use

of DESTDIR and INSTALL_PATH - many thanks to Tzafrir Cohen and
Simon Perreault for extremely useful feedback:
 
1. comment out the [directories] section the created asterisk.conf ;
   you can set the correct defaults at build time using INSTALL_PATH,
   so the repetition here is redundant and often wrong.
   (The next step now is move asterisk.conf outside the Makefile to
   asterisk.conf.sample, because there is little if anything here
   that needs to be constructed at build/install time).
 
2. use DESTDIR?=$(INSTALL_PATH) so you only need to specify a path
   once if the two coincide. This should have no ill side effects, 
   because if you don't specify DESTDIR, you really need
   INSTALL_PATH="" to set the correct defaults, and if you specify
   DESTDIR the value is not overridden.

The second part required moving the 'export DESTDIR' right after
the assignment to prevent DESTDIR getting set by the export 
(this is documented in the Makefile).o hopefully avoid the mistake)$

With this change you can now do something like this from your source tree:

	make INSTALL_PATH=/some/place install samples

and then

	main/asterisk -vdc

which will pick up the correct config files and libraries from
/some/place - i.e. great for developers!
