Description

I realise this is somewhat complicated because bundle_builder relies on the Python CCompiler machinery to define the compiled library filenames, but it would be really nice to have a make option that bypasses the C/C++ compilation step when only the Python code has been modified. At present, calling make app-install on the Clipper plugin takes almost 3 minutes every time, which adds up quickly.

setup.py might be smart enough to limit the compile to just the Python packages, but bundle builder is not.
