distutils compiler flags for extension modules

[Christian Meesters]

Hoi,

as I got no answers with the previous question (subject: disabling 
compiler flags in distutils), I thought I should ask the question in a 
different way: Is there an option to set the compiler flags for a C/C++ 
extension in distutils? There is the extra_compile_args-option in the 
Extension class, yet this offers only to give additional flags, but I'd 
like to have 'total' control about the compile args. Any hint?

Thanks
Christian
