Summary: Setup.local ignored by setup.py

Initial Comment:
This applies to Python 2.2.x, 2.3.x, and 2.4a1.

Platforms seem to be all Unix flavors.

I have zlib, readline, and Tk in an unusual location.
There are also often older versions in the usual
locations (/usr/local/lib, etc.). I put -L and -I flags
pointing to the desired location of these libraries in
entries for the appropriate extension modules in
Setup.local, per the README. I specify all three
extension modules as *shared* .

When I build, the extension modules I specify in
Setup.local get built twice: once directly from the
Makefile, with the flags I request in Setup.local, then
again from setup.py's build_ext phase, with the default
flags. The second build is what's installed, so I end
up using the wrong version of libz, libreadline, and
libtk .

The problem appears to be around line 152 of setup.py
(CVS revision 1.190). There is code to ignore modules
defined in Modules/Setup, but not modules defined in
Modules/Setup.local .

I'm not familiar with the text_file.TextFile class, so
there may be a better way to do this, but one the fix
is to loop over ['Modules/Setup',
'Modules/Setup.local'] rather than only reading
Modules/Setup.
