Well, if you're using Python 2.4 (or Python 2.3 with setuptools), just put
the header files inside your package directories and use:
package_data = {'': ['*.h']},
headers = ['srcdir/mypkg/foo.h', 'srcdir/mypkg/bar.h', ...],
to include all .h files that are found in your package directories, and to
also install the same files as headers.
