+ Implementation
+ 
+     Patch #102588 on SourceForge will contain the proposed patch.
+     As of Dec. 1, the patch does the following:
+ 
+       * Removes the use of makesetup in building the interpreter.
+       * Hard-codes the presence of the strop, posix, and _sre modules. 
+       * Adds an empty top-level setup.py file.
+ 
+     Still to be done: 
+ 
+       * Write the top-level setup.py
+       * Handle a few tricky bits such as the signal module.

+     its own BuildExt subclass anyway.]
