Embedding a python module in libpython.a

[mrstephengross]

Ok, I'm trying to build libpython.a. It's version 1.5.2 (I know it's an
old version, but I need to get it to work if at all possible). I want
to find a way to make sure the module copy_reg is present in the
libpython.a. I know all about editing the Modules/Setup file to put in
additional modules, but there's no pre-existing line in Modules/Setup
for copy_reg. The .py itself is in the Lib directory, though. Is there
a straight-forward way to do this?

Thanks,
