[Cython] main-embedding problem

[Mark Lodato]

What about using something like my script?

I think this solution would be much cleaner - to create a *new* C file
in addition to everything on the command line.  That way you can
compile all your modules to object files, and then either make them
into shared objects or compile them with the extra C file into a
standalone.
