[Pyrex] c++ patch usage

[Lenard Lindstrom]

distutils was something I did not want to touch. I explicitly 
compiled the Pyrex .pyx file using pyrexc, renamed the .c file to 
.cpp, then used distutils to compile the .cpp file.

Anyways, that said, to get rid of the extra 'extern "C"' added by the 
--swig-cpp option comment out line 61

            self.c_to_cpp(target)

of Pyrex/Distutils/build_ext.py. distutils now builds pyxtest.pyx.
