In scikit-learn, we've decided to use Cython 0.17 but we include generated
.c files in the git repository so the dependency is only for developers who
want to regenerate a particular .c file from the corresponding .pyx file...

A downside is that this generates large and hard to read diffs but we
recently merged a .gitattributes file that should alleviate this problem:
