-1. These aren't external libraries; they are part of Python. There are many build options (such as linking them statically through Modules/Setup, or building them as dynamic libraries using Modules/Setup, or building them through setup.py); adding more files would increase confusion. If you want additional files generated and installed, additional code can be put into setup.py to generate them.
