docs: pyximport actually all output files into the build directory, not just the .so.

end up loading multiple shared libraries into memory over time. CPython does
not support reloading shared libraries as such.
Pyximport puts your ``.c`` file beside your ``.pyx`` file (analogous to
``.pyc`` beside ``.py``), but, by default, puts the platform-specific
binary in a build directory as per normal for Distutils. To copy it back
Pyximport puts both your ``.c`` file and the platform-specific binary into
a separate build directory, usually ``$HOME/.pyxblx/``. To copy it back
into the package hierarchy (usually next to the source file) for manual
reuse, you can pass the option ``inplace=True``.
For further thought and discussion
------------------------------------
``setup.py install`` does not modify :file:`sitecustomize.py` for you and
probably should never do that. Modifying Python's "standard interpreter"
behaviour may be more than most people expect of a package they install.
Pyximport puts your ``.c`` file beside your ``.pyx`` file (analogous to
``.pyc`` beside ``.py``). But it puts the platform-specific binary in a
build directory as per normal for Distutils. If I could wave a magic
wand and get Cython or distutils or whoever to put the build directory I
might do it but not necessarily: having it at the top level is *VERY*
*HELPFUL* for debugging Cython problems.
