This makes this library ready to install with PEP 517 / PEP 518.
I am not sure if this solves the problem referred to in the README.md, but I will say that pip install . on a git checkout (or presumably from a source distribution) will fail without this file, whereas pip install . will work just fine with it.
It would also be nice if the next release could have some wheels added for it, particularly for platforms that are unlikely to have a compiler installed already, like Windows.
