Summary: Portable compiler option specification

Initial Comment:
Distutils should provide a portable way for packagers to specify common compiler options, e.g. "maximum optimization", "debugging symbols" etc. These should be per-module options that can be specified in the setup script.

I disagree: I think packages should inherit such options
from the Python into which
they're being installed. Allowing overrides of this can lead
to all sorts of disastrous
failures. For instance, a Unix person won't know that mixing
debug/non-debug on
Windows is a sure way to crash Python spectacularly.
