It's brute-force, really: I made it a wrapper around other build systems
(GNU make / autotools based, in my case). The result is that I'm dealing 
with a hybrid system: make/autotools for individual extension modules, 
and distutils for the overall project (especially the packaging).
This seems to be a good compromize between effort and features.
