Right now it's required to build libcld.a separately in order to compile the
python extension.
This is a problem for example when installing through pip by pointing it
directly at the repository url (would be a problem if the package would be
uploaded on pypi too).
The resulting module is not much larger (1.6Mb of the resulting module vs 1.4Mb
of the original module in a 64bit environment) and noticeably simplifies the
install procedure.
The attached patch allows the python's module to be built using only the
setup.py script. Building cld as a standalone library remains possible, the
patch only changes the distutils build script.
