distutils for the library modules built as shared objects.  A better solution
appears possible, but with the threat that the distutils becomes more
magical ("complex").
This closes SF bug #458343.

   adjust it when a versioned interpreter is supplied (#!.../python2 ...)

invalid filenames on Windows when building without specifying a
version number in the setup script.

Updated to include the new exe-file.

bdist_wininst doesn't use the NT SCHEME any more, instead
a custom SCHEME is used, which is exchanged at installation
time, depending on the python version used.

Avoid a bogus warning frpom install_lib about installing
into a directory not on sys.path.

   This will have to stay until we decide to drop 1.5.2 compatibility
   completely.

Includes backwards compatibility code for pre-2.2 Pythons.  Contributed

    I have no way of testing this.

    Add executable extension, needed to get the program name right on Win32

    Provide include_dirs argument to all calls to ._preprocess and ._compile
    Fix typo: pattern.search(pattern) should be pattern.search(line)

(This command seems to be essentially untested; should fix that...)

    libraries.  This is done by adding a .get_source_files() method,
    contributed by Rene Liebscher and slightly modified.
Remove an unused local variable spotted by PyChecker

Use construction-syntax for an exception to make the argument easier
to read.

   though 'licence' is still supported for backward-compatibility
   (Should I add a warning to get_licence(), or not bother?)

Also fixes an UnboundLocalError noticed by PyChecker

under MacOS.)

to the current Python interpreter (ie. the one used for
building/installation), even (especially!) if "/usr/bin/env" appears in
the #! line.

Rationale: installing scripts with "#!/usr/bin/env python" is asking for
trouble, because
  1) it might pick the wrong interpreter (not the one used to
     build/install the script)
  2) it doesn't work on all platforms (try it on IRIX 5, or on Linux
     with command-line options for python)
  3) "env" might not be in /usr/bin

do it back in copy_file() (not at module level).
