That's because the setup.py doesn't know all the dependencies of the C
modules.  I think it only recompiles if the module's main .c file is
changed; but that's not enough because most of the BTree code is
actually in a template file that is included by the main .c files.

Hmm...  I think distutils now has a way to express generalized
dependencies; maybe that should be used?  I'll investigate.
