[Distutils] static linking in distutils/setuptools?

[Charlie Moad]

With the OSX eggs I link and include static libraries for libpng and
freetype.  You can just put them in a directory and when building mpl
use something like, "LDFLAGS=/tmp/static-libs python setup.py build". 
This will make setuptools look in the directory you specify first.
