- Added -std=c89 to CFLAGS in Makefile for compatibility with GCC 15+
- Added a `make install` target that installs to /opt/python091 by default (python is at /opt/python091/bin/py091), this can be changed with the INSTALL_DIR env variable.
+- Fixed PYTHONPATH to be relative to the INSTALL_DIR used in `make install` target
