[Distutils] Question concerning dist_utils build_clib command

[Martin Field]

Hi again,

    As a follow up to my last posting, I have found a not very
elegant workaround which consists in modifying the appropriate
compiler flags in the compiler's compiler_so list. These ultimately
come from Python's make and include files via the function
"customize_compiler" in "distutils.sysconfig". Is there any
convenient way of altering these flags between calls to "setup"
which would avoid having to change or extend the distutils
code?

   Any help would be appreciated.

Martin.
