That would work too, but it's probably easier to have a separate  
Makefile present because it's easier to implement.

Probably also a bit easier to make work with dumb extensions that  
aren't built with distutils (like subversion's Python bindings)..  
since they'd just have to add a little conditional to the Makefile- 
finding code, rather than re-implementing the flags mangling.
