Trac's setup.py does not honor --home

[markus.stenberg@…]

In Python, it is possible to do something like

python setup.py install —home=/my/installation/prefix

However, unfortunately it does not seem to be supported by trac's setup.py.

Fix is trivial:

The self.home is None if —home is not specified, and otherwise the path. self.prefix is NOT SET if —home is used ⇒ problems ensue.

This works at least with my Python 2.3 - caveat emptor.
