Thank you for the bug report.

Your solution breaks an installation when a user doesn't call "python
setup.py build" before she uses "python setup.py install" to install JCC.

Does 'install' without 'build' invoke 'build' ?
If that's the case, then yeah, there is a problem and this should be backed out. If not, then where is the problem ? 'install' without a prior 'build' would make no sense, no ?

I think the best solution to the issue is a custom build_ext command
that writes the config file after the extensions have been build. If you
like I can try to come up with a suitable solution.

That may be a little heavy handed for such a uncommon problem but if you'd like to give it try, by all means !!

Andi..
