[gentoo-portage-dev] [PATCH 1/2] setup.py: add stub for building custom modules in C/C++

["Anthony G. Basile" <basile@opensource.dyc.edu>]

From: "Anthony G. Basile" <blueness@gentoo.org>

Currently portage doesn't include any custom modules written in C/C++.
This commit introduces stub code for building such modules in setup.py.
