SWIG+Distutils - no harmony?

[Martin Bless]

Getting courageous I try building 'example.pyd' 
from the SWIG 'Simple Example' using SWIG and the Distutils.
Looks promising but doesn't succeed. I didn't
modify 'example.c' and 'example.i'.

Problems/questions:

(1) Is 'setup.py' ok?
(2) BEWARE: What's really shocking:
After see (unsuccessful)
  python setup.py build -cmingw32
the original 'example.c' is GONE AND AWAY -
replaced by the wrapper.
(3) What's going wrong?
