Is this something that really needs to be a code package? Why can't
this knowledge (or at least the easily overridable part of it) be
packaged in one or more .conf/.ini plaintext files? In that way,
users could easily grab new data files or tweak the builtin ones, and
at build time say
setup.py install --compiler_conf=~/my_tweaked.conf
Is that impossible/unreasonable for some reason?
