If you have source files srcdir1/foo.c and srcdir2/foo.c, the
temporary .o for both files is written to build/temp.<platform>/foo.o.
This patch sets strip_dir to false for both calls to object_filename,
so now the object files are written to temp.<platform>/srcdir1/foo.o
and .../srcdir2/foo.o.

2.2 bugfix candidate

The two long lines have been reflowed differently; hopefully someone on
BeOS can test them.  Rev. 1.53 also converted string.atoi() to int(); I've
left that alone.

  Fixed by catching all exceptions that are subclasses of DistutilsError,
  so only the error message will be printed.  You can still get the
  whole traceback by enabling the Distutils debugging mode.

always available on Windows NT. When the function cannot be loaded,
get_special_folder_path raises OSError, "function not available".

Compiled the exe, and rebuilt bdist_wininst.py.

* bcppcompiler.py
  (BCPPCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
  and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
  (BCPPCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* msvccompiler.py
  (MSVCCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs

* ccompiler.py
  (CCompiler): New language_map and language_order attributes, used by
  CCompiler.detect_language().

  (CCompiler.detect_language): New method, will return the language of
  a given source, or list of sources. Individual source language is
  detected using the language_map dict. When mixed sources are used,
  language_order will stablish the language precedence.

  (CCompiler.create_static_lib, CCompiler.link, CCompiler.link_executable,
   CCompiler.link_shared_object, CCompiler.link_shared_lib):
  Inlcuded target_lang parameter.

* cygwinccompiler.py
  (CygwinCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

  (EMXCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* mwerkscompiler.py
  (MWerksCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* extension.py
  (Extension.__init__): New 'language' parameter/attribute, initialized
  to None by default. If provided will overlap the automatic detection
  made by CCompiler.detect_language(), in build_ext command.

* sysconfig.py
  (customize_compiler): Check Makefile for CXX option, and also the
  environment variable CXX. Use the resulting value in the 'compiler_cxx'
  parameter of compiler.set_executables().

* unixccompiler.py
  (UnixCCompiler): Included 'compiler_cxx' in executables dict, defaulting
  to 'cc'.
  (UnixCCompiler.create_static_lib): Included target_lang parameter.
  (UnixCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter, and made
  linker command use compiler_cxx, if target_lang is 'c++'.

* command/build_ext.py
  (build_ext.build_extension): Pass new ext.language attribute
  to compiler.link_shared_object()'s target_lang parameter. If
  ext.language is not provided, detect language using
  compiler.detect_language(sources) instead.

* command/config.py
  (config._link): Pass already available lang parameter as target_lang
  parameter of compiler.link_executable().

Recreated after recompilation of wininst.exe.

customize_compiler() now looks at various environment variables and uses
   their values to override the configured C compiler/preprocessor/linker
   binary and flags.

   when output is redirected to a file, compiler error messages show

   whether the Distutils being used supports a particularly capability.

   (This idea was originally suggested by Juergen Hermann as a method

arguments, triggering a warning instead of raising an exception.  (In
1.5.2/2.0, it will print to stderr.)

Bugfix candidate for all previous versions.  This changes behaviour,
but the old behaviour wasn't very useful.  If Distutils version X+1
adds a new keyword argument, using the new keyword means your setup.py
file won't work with Distutils version X any more.

the flag.  Punt and return a -L flag instead (returning "" gums up the
command to be forked).

CCompiler may rely on the presence of self.verbose (SciPy's distutils
appears to).

Strangely, two out of three patches there seem already committed; but
the essential one (get rid of the assert in object_filenames in
ccompiler.py) was not yet applied.

This makes the build procedure for Twisted work again.

This is *not* a backport candidate despite the fact that identical
code appears to exist in 2.2.2; Twisted builds fine there, so there
must have been a change elsewhere.

Note that distutils.core.DEBUG still works if client code uses it, but
the core code avoids circular references by using distutils.debug.
