isn't it nice when cranky-heads are dealt with politely?

ahhhh... hadnt thought of that. thanks....

here is a one line fix to build_ext.py in the distutils distribution
that switches the order of the includes, so that -IInclude comes
before -I/usr/lib/python1.5 in the build process, so API changes in
the .h files don't hose the build before the install.
