Summary: setup.py - nonstandard paths

Initial Comment:
In my build environment I have to ensure that the same
version of each software package is available across
many different platforms.  To do this I compile code
into a directory structure when the root path of
/usr/tools/fw.   So a tools like flex would result in
files /usr/tools/fw/bin/flex,
/usr/tools/fw/include/FlexLexer.h,
/usr/tools/fw/lib/libfl.a, ...

In the Python 2.1 build environment it does not seem
that you can pass extra search paths too setup.py.  I
must either hack setup.py to look in /usr/tools/fw or
manually add each module to Modules/Setup.  It would be
nice for setup.py to be able to take extra search
paths.

Don't the -I & -L options to setup.py handle this?

As in:

./python $(srcdir)/setup.py -I/usr/tools/fw/include \
-L/usr/tools/fw/lib

?  I can't see how to arrange things to do this just by
typing "make" -- is that what you're complaining about?
