[Distutils] BUG: Stub loaders not created for non distutils .pyd files when using setuptools.

[Jamie Kirkpatrick]

I haven't tried this - looks like it would be worth a go for sure.   
If so then I guess it can be considered a workaround for the  
"issue".  Question though - how will the setuptools machinery know  
what the .pyd file is called?
