Yeah, /usr/include/cxx/src is a good idea, and something does need to be done
about it.  Putting files in /usr/share/python2.7/cxx violates the Pkging
Guidelines because no package owns /usr/share/python2.7, and it doesn't make
sense for python-pycxx to own that directory.

Maybe this needs to be taken up with upstream.  I'd think these ought to be
compiled for the arch and put into a static lib like %{_libdir}/pycxx.a.

Another option is to put the uncompiled sources in /usr/src/pycxx, but I
haven't found a precedent for that, outside of the kernel (PlanetCCRMA does
this with rt-tests, but I haven't investigated).

A complaint I have about headers in /usr/include/python2.7 is that these
include files should be good for any python v.2.  That may not matter if the
python minor version is guaranteed not to change within any Fedora release.
