You can get setuptools to build *and* install them for you,
actually. It's just not documented, since the feature is not
well-supported on all platforms. (Windows is actually about the only
platform it works properly on out of the box!)
If you look at the tests/shlib_test directory in the setuptools
source, there's an example setup script that builds and installs a
.pyd and .dll when run on Windows.
