I see. Is it safe to say, for all modules in the core, that importing
them has no "dangerous" side effect? In that case, setup.py could
attempt to import them after they've been build, and delete the ones
that fail to import. Of course, that would also delete modules where
setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH might cure the problem...
