Right; I'm currently using a gross hack to enable setting the
compiler options (see mxSetup.py in my distutils packages). It
would be nice if a packager could define the options in a more
flexible way, e.g. by setting an option.

We should keep that in mind for next year... could you create
a feature request on SF for this ?
