[issue6731] Add option of non-zero exit status of setup.py when building of extensions has failed

[Guilherme Polo]

Guilherme Polo <ggpolo at gmail.com> added the comment:

Wouldn't be more interesting to add an option where you tell exactly
which modules aren't expected to be compiled successfully ? If any
modules besides those specified are not built, then setup.py returns 1.

I, for instance, don't care if the _bsddb extension doesn't get built
but I do care that some others get compiled successfully.
