Ok. I'll look into that.

They do. They just don't install the Makefile (could be because it's all
built with MSVC).

The distutils module has a get_python_inc() function which returns the
include directory. If this one was used, we wouldn't have to hack up the
include path as I do now. Is there any reason this is not used on Unix,
instead of the hardcoded subdirectory-of-"python_prefix" way it is now?
