FWIW, that change won't work to fix the problem on Windows if a
package's setup.py is written with cross-platform paths (i.e., the usual case).
Also, for the record, it's not really a setuptools-related fix; it's
just attempting to fix collateral damage caused by the attempt to fix
the problems caused by the original API change... which affected all
build_ext customizations relying on the docstring of the changed
method, not just the one in setuptools.
