Basically anything that isn't built by setup.py? That's the bare minimum I
would want to go with.
Anyone else have an opinion?

</div>Well, "make" clearly tells you which modules couldn't be
built at the<br>
end. Many people are already concerned enough by that message :)<br>

Perhaps we can keep required/optional for core things like "posix"
or<br>
"winreg". But failing the test suite because ctypes doesn't
compile on a<br>
platform is IMO overblown. Especially given that we also go out of our<br>
way to make the test suite pass successfully when e.g. zlib or threads<br>
are unavailable (or at least Ezio did at one
