Careful -- if you're using code earlier than last night, I think
"build_ext" should come first.  That particular bit of bogosity should
be fixed with the config file changes, though.  One more reason to be
following the CVS tree.  (Whaddya mean, time for a new release?  ;-)

That's a feature.  I think.  ;-)
