[issue5706] setuptools doesn't honor standard compiler variables

[Garrett Cooper]

New submission from Garrett Cooper <yanegomi at gmail.com>:

I realize that cross-compilation isn't supported yet, _but_ setuptools
needs to be modified such that standard compilation variables are
supported, e.g. CC, CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LD, LDFLAGS, LDLIBS.

The -i, -l, and -L flags with setup.py with build_ext provide a basic
level of support, but unfortunately it doesn't match what these
environment variables provide.
