Re: install of link.so occ.so ucpp.so from build/temp-<target>

sorry, I completely forgot about this issue !
Move away (i.e. rename, remove, etc.) the toplevel 'setup.cfg' file
and all extension modules should be installed again.

I added that file for convenience, as it tells the build process to
place extension module right into the source tree, so it's easy to
work with synopsis without installing anything.
setup.cfg isn't part of the source package, and so nobody besides
developers will ever see it. I may as well remove it from the repository,
if it causes more trouble than is worth.

Yeah, the mix of distutils and configure/make is quite arcane. I'm
still waiting for the ultimate build tool. (scons, boost.build, ...?)

right, to use the IDL parser you have to obtain omniidl from
http://omniorb.sourceforge.net/ (or is it packaged separately
for some systems ?)

Some failures are indeed quite benign. May be I should annotate
the test suite to point out a) what these tests cover and b)
what outcome to expect.

As always, any help would be very much appreciated !
