"make altinstall" installs "2to3", "pydoc3" and "idle3" without version specific names. This was at least a deliberate decision in the case of 2to3, but there doesn't appear to be any reason not to use a properly qualified version suffix on the pydoc and idle executables.

Softened the wording, since OS packages will often omit installing any executable files other than the main python binary.

Yes, this already irked me with previous versions.

Attaching a patch that should fix it. The delegation of the links to the Makefile is not ideal, but I don't see how to easily do it otherwise. While this is reviewed, deferring as it should not block beta2.
