setup.py and file extensions like ".c++"

[garyjefferson123 at yahoo.com]

Is there any way to get setup.py to recognize file extensions like .c++
in lieu of .cpp?  I'd love to not have to rename the source files for
the library I'm trying to wrap in a python C extension.

I get:

error: unknown file type '.c++' (from 'parser.c++')

when I type 'python setup.py build'

thanks,
Gary
