setup.py doesn't report errors in build_ext -i properly

This has gotten a lot better in recent versions with the change to "--allow-python-fallbacks".

Can you elaborate on what you feel is broken? I use "py setup.py build_ext -i && bzr selftest" fairly often now, and it works for me.

(Note that groupcompress was using an older version of setup.py for a while, which did not support that properly.)

export CFLAGS=-Werror, and then do 'python setup.py build_ext -i'

Is that related to the current failure to detect extensions not built in the nightly PPA ?
