Shipping a Python C extension + a library it uses as source

Hi distutils-sig,

I've developed a small C library and a much larger Python native
extension that uses that library. The native extension has no
dependencies other than that small C library.

While the library is useful on its own, I'm thinking it would be good to
include the library's source directly with my native extension's source
when I upload to PyPI, so that it can be easily built for arbitrary
platforms without me having to create wheels for them.

Is this a known approach? Have people done this before?

For reference, the C library, which currently builds with autotools, is
here:
https://github.com/catern/rsyscall/tree/master/c
And the Python library and native extension, which currently builds with
setuptools and uses cffi, is here:
https://github.com/catern/rsyscall/tree/master/python

Thanks for any guidance!
