Backport #1941: Issues with Ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 383 and any package installation

 Working on updating RubyInstaller packages to recently released patchlevel 383, found that my patching strategies over rbconfig no longer works.
 
 On previous patchlevel (368), I configure ruby with my sandbox path, and once installed, gsub it from rbconfig, leaving this:
 
 CONFIG["prefix"] = (TOPDIR || DESTDIR + "")
 
 Where my path was inside "".
 
 Since TOPDIR refers to rbconfig.rb itself (but with stripped path), prefix end being always the path where Ruby ends installed/copied.
 
 DESTDIR ends not being used for the prefix, and it's value turns to be "C:"
 
 Now, bear with me for a second, on p368:
 
 CONFIG["libdir"] = "$(exec_prefix)/lib"
 CONFIG["exec_prefix"] = "$(prefix)"
 
 But on p383:
 
 CONFIG["exec_prefix"] = "$(DESTDIR)"
 
 This affects installation of rubygems and packages that uses setup.rb
 
 Other places that uses $(DESTDIR) instead of previous values:
 
 CONFIG["sitedir"] = "$(DESTDIR)/lib/ruby/site_ruby"
 
 Wonder why the change, if DESTDIR was not used during make, why remove the usage of prefix on this case?
 
 Thank you.
