Summary: Update ext build documentation

Initial Comment:
The attached file documents how extensions are build
using distutils. It is intended to replace atleast 
unix.tex, and possible also windows.tex.

Fred, if this is ok, I would like to check it in as
ext/building.tex, and remove ext/unix.tex. I would then
add a comment on top of windows.tex that the build
procedure using distutils should work out of the box on
Windows as well.

This looks good.  I had written a short replacement file
called 
build.tex and was going to submit it this morning,
but yours looks 
better.  Presuming Distutils gets rid of
the need for Windows-specific 
build solutions, I agree both
unix.tex and windows.tex should be 
replaced.

One phrase didn't make sense to me.  Near the top it says

  
(known as related to Makefile.pre.in, and Setup files)

I don't know 
what that means.  I would just zap any
reference to the old build 
method.

Skip
