The problem, as I view it,is that we are a bit schizophrenic
between Makefile and setup.py.
I think we should put more features into setup.py and less in
Makefile.
Easier said than done, but I wanted it to say it anyway :)
I thought for a long time that more things could be done in the
Makefile, but I now realize that getting totally rid of the
Makefile is preferable.
And the recent discussions about the docs and the problems I
encountered on FreeBSD all points in the same direction: setup.py
is better suited to address our needs and we'll get better
features and better tests by building on that.
