[Distutils] Subclassing the compiler

[Simon Wood]

Hi,

The API reference for distutils tells how to get an instance of a new
compiler sub-class with the following command:

mycompiler = distutils.ccompiler.new_compiler(*plat=None*, *compiler=None*,
*verbose=0*, *dry_run=0*, *force=0*)

The API also specifies the commands to modify specific parameters within the
returned compiler sub-class. However the API says nothing about how to
actually "use" the new sub-class. In other words, how does one go about
getting the following to work (or something similar)?

python setup.py build

where the build steps now use 'mycompiler'

Thanks,

-Simon
