[Python-checkins] CVS: python/dist/src/Lib/distutils/command build_ext.py,1.76,1.77

[Fred L. Drake]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Lib/distutils/command
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv30048/Lib/distutils/command

Modified Files:
	build_ext.py 
Log Message:
Visious hackery to solve a build-control problem related to our use of
distutils for the library modules built as shared objects.  A better solution
appears possible, but with the threat that the distutils becomes more
magical ("complex").
This closes SF bug #458343.
