pip install fails without re2 manually installed #27

We're looking at using pyre2 in openstack/heat but the necessity of a manual install of re2 prevents us from integrating it easily. I note that many packages installed by pip do include a step where they compile c or c++ and I wonder if this would be possible for pyre2. How much work would this be?

Why not build a package to install re2?
