[Pyrex] Pyrex, Distutils, and include directories

[khinsen at cea.fr]

I have started to move from C to Pyrex for the time critical code in my 
Molecular Modelling Toolkit (http://dirac.cnrs-orleans.fr/MMTK/). Not 
that I am planning to rewrite anything, but I expect all new code to 
use Pyrex.

There is one problem to which I didn't find a good solution yet: access 
to include files. I plan to ship Pyrex include files that describe the 
internal C data structures with the library. Ideally, they would be 
installed in a well-defined place (perhaps the same one that holds C 
header files), and any client package could just use them, just like 
for C header files. That would require the Distutils module in Pyrex to 
add some standard include paths, and provide an option for adding 
private include paths. At the moment, it seems not to care about 
include paths at all.

Did anyone already think about this, or better yet, write code?

Konrad.
