Do not include your header files in Extension (their not supported
there), if you want to distribute them with your extension, add them
to setup call, as in

    setup(..., headers=['bcsim/bcsim.h'])

if you only need them to build your extension (for source
distributions and rpms) include them in MANIFEST.in instead.
