2015-09-12 Building wheel for CVXcanon on Windows

I tried to run the command python setup.py bdist_wheel but it failed with the following error message:

Checking .pth file support in build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\CVXcanon-0.0.18.data\..\
c:\Python34_x64\pythonw.exe -E -c pass
TEST FAILED: build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\CVXcanon-0.0.18.data\..\ does NOT support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH

You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from.  The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    build\bdist.win-amd64\wheel\CVXcanon-0.0.18.data\..\

So before giving up, I tried python setup.py install which worked… So I decided the build a very simple wheel with the compiled files extracted from the site-packages directory.
