[docs] [issue763043] unable to specify another compiler

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

Starting with Python 2.3, environment variables like CC (familiar to people compiling C projects on unix) are respected.  That’s what I think should be added to the distutils docs, maybe in the reference doc for build_ext, or in the narrative doc talking about extension modules.
