[Distutils] extra_compile/link_args : split string before exec

[Simon Burton]

HI,

i just found a nasty bug in my distutils: passing in multiple arguments
to a single element in the extra_link_args list. Those multiple arguments
are not .split() by distutils before exec'ing gcc and so ld was completely
ignoring some essential libs.

I would suggest either adding a .split() into distutils, or at least documenting
this.

Simon.
