New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com>:

build_ext calculates which files for an Extension need to be recompiled. This 
calculation is way to aggrasive: if any source file for an Extension has 
changed all source files get recompiled.

It would be nice if distutils would only recompile the sources that actually 
changed (taking into account the 'depends' attribute of the Extension). 

If I read the code correctly this would be a new version, it seems that the 
current behavior is intentional.
