[issue6251] c++ extension module implementation guide/example in extending/embedding documentation

I'm aware of Boost without being familiar. I should find out more. I 
don't have any reason to think it might not be the better approach.

I guess when I wrote this I was thinking in terms of minimising 
dependencies: writing a program that depended only on the standard 
libraries of c/c++ and python. In that context, if Boost-python were to 
become a part of a stdlib, there'd be no need at all for this. Are there 
any plans afoot?

Also, if dependencies are not a problem for your project, Boost might be 
the way to go. I won't indulge in any polemic one way or the other. I 
just thought a DIY primer might be useful in some contexts. Whether the 
official docs is the place for it I don't know.
