I've been working on ensconced which lets you use a SConstruct to build. It is easier than customizing distutils.
https://github.com/dholth/pysdl2-cffi/blob/master/SConstruct is the most code-generation-y project. Its build might be a little out of date and it has an independent setup.py building the project with setuptools. https://github.com/dholth/bioopenssl doesn't have C extensions but is an example of a stub setup.py (only necessary for the develop command) and pyproject.toml (which pip can use without a setup.py via PEP 517).
