So, you changed the name of the file containing patch.43, and that broke my build scripts.
This whole "patch setuptools" thing is extremely fragile. How about defaulting to NO_SHARED if you detect the absence of the patch? Or, better yet, take the patched code from setuptools to do the shared library thing, and move it into JCC proper, so that you don't have to rely on setuptools being there in some correct but nonstandard configuration to build the shared libraries?
