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?
