distribute pyrobuf_{list,util}.pxd files in sys.path #141

It would be nice if pyrobuf distributed pyrobuf_{list,util}.pxd files in sys.path. This is needed in order to cimport pyrobuf_list.

It seems, as documented in Cython documentation, it can be done with package_data parameter in setup.py file.

As workaround, I have to keep the pxd files within repository of my own projects, which inconvenient to maintain.

Possibly this is related to the following snippet from the Cython docs:

Note also that if you use setuptools instead of distutils, the default action when running python setup.py install is to create a zipped egg file which will not work with cimport for pxd files when you try to use them from a dependent package. To prevent this, include zip_safe=False in the arguments to setup().
