version control the pyrex output files

Bug Description

When building bzr.dev in my home directory on code.python.org, I have a C compiler but I don't have pyrex. I don't want to install pyrex on that machine because of all the other things it pulls in. It shouldn't be necessary anyway because I doubt the pyx files change very frequently. When they do, it should be pretty easy to version control the generated c files so that users of bzr.dev don't have to.

I agree :) Mind you I argued for versioning them in the first place.

Barry isn't the first user I've seen with this issue - tracking bzr.dev
and running it to help us (on a server where .debs isn't appropriate). I
think we should revisit this.

Wishlist indicates we'll do it if someone puts the effort in :) What
would be needed to make this acceptable?

I have no objection any more; we're not changing them all that often
and I can see how it would help barry.

The only problem I have with that is that different versions of pyrex are used across the team.

We should at least decide which one must be used or we may have silly conflicts (John pointed out that I used an old pyrex version when I had to re-recreate the 1.12 tar ball).
