\section{Building Extensions: Tips and Tricks}
\label{building-ext}
(This is the section to read for people doing any sort of interesting
build. Things to talk about:
\begin{itemize}
\item the \file{Setup} file (any platform now, but Unix-biased)
\item CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (must implement them first!)
\item using non-MS compilers on Windows (how to convert
Python's library, ...)
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Tweaking compiler/linker flags}
\label{tweak-flags}
\subsection{Using non-Microsoft compilers on Windows}
\label{non-ms-compilers}
