FWIW, that change won't work to fix the problem on Windows if a 
package's setup.py is written with cross-platform paths (i.e., the usual case).

Also, for the record, it's not really a setuptools-related fix; it's 
just attempting to fix collateral damage caused by the attempt to fix 
the problems caused by the original API change...  which affected all 
build_ext customizations relying on the docstring of the changed 
method, not just the one in setuptools.
