How do I do that ? How do you "declare all extension modules" ?
Even if I explicitly add a module with "modules =
["Start.CompiledCExtensions.ABunchOfExtensions.pyd"] it doesn't work.
As I said before if you add it as:
ext_modules=[Extension("Start.CompiledCExtensions", [""])]
it wants code specified to build it.

At the moment I've hacked an extension to py2exe which uses its module
and dll finding capabilities to copy across all dependencies (pyd and
dll) as data files.
