Bummer. It appears these files are looked for in build_lib,
whether or not 'inplace' was used during the build step.
As these extension modules aren't there, they aren't installed.

I didn't expect 'install' not to cooperate with 'build_ext',
so I'm not sure what to do.
In fact, the reason for me to set up the 'setup.cfg' file was
not to be forced to install anything during development.
All you need to do is set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, and PYTHONPATH
variables appropriately.

I'll try to figure out whether there is any way around this,
or whether that is a design limitation of distutils.
A source distribution of synopsis will not contain the setup.cfg
file, so users not operating from the repository will be able
to install. As a quick hack, you may remove or rename setup.cfg
locally, if you really want to install synopsis.
