[New-bugs-announce] [issue5583] Optional extensions in setup.py

[Georg Brandl]

New submission from Georg Brandl <georg at python.org>:

Adds a new kwarg to the Extension constructor that does what Python's
own /setup.py does to ignore build failure in an extension with a warning.

I'm not sure if that's everything that's needed, but it seems to work in
a simple test case.
