disabling compiler flags in distutils

[Christian Meesters]

Hoi,

I've written an extension in C++ which compiles wonderfully. However, I 
want to compile it using a setup script with distutils and distutils 
gives the compiler the unwanted (!) flag "-Wstrict-prototypes", which is 
a flag only understood when compiling C. The C++ compiler runs, but 
issues a warning I don't want to see.

Is there a way to turn off that flag in a setup script (using distutils)?

TIA
Christian
