[Microbit-Python] building a branch

[Peter Inglesby]

Hi Mark,

It looks like the neopixel module is missing from the list of modules in
mpconfigport.h
<https://github.com/bbcmicrobit/micropython/blob/neopixel/inc/microbit/mpconfigport.h>.
If you copy and adapt the references to `love_module`, you should get
something that you can import.

Hope that helps,

Peter.
