[Python-Dev] What happened to Setup.local's functionality?

I just remembered Modules/Setup.local. I peeked at mine and noticed it had been zeroed out. I then copied a version of it over from another machine and reran make a couple times. Makesetup ran but nothing mentioned in Setup.local got built. I don't think 2.1 can be released without providing a way for users to recover from this change. I didn't see anything obvious in setup.py. Am I missing something? Skip
