I hope it would only do this if the .pyx was newer than the
.c. It's probably not a good idea to assume that just because
Pyrex is around, the user wants to use it in all cases. He
might be installing a package distributed by someone with a
different version of Pyrex that wasn't quite compatible. If
he's not modifying the .pyx files, it would be safer to just
use the provided .c files.
