link to `__init__.py` earlier, such that `cython`, when invoked, won't see
it.
That wouldn't be a solution. Perhaps the user ''wants'' (for some reason)
to have it in the folder (in particular, it is no user error).
I believe that it should simply not matter for attaching files whether or
not `__init__.py` is there. Of course, if you have a Python file and want
that you can import (not attach) it, then you would create the
`__init__.py` (this is why I created it, anyway).
Attaching a file should be independent from importing, and both should
simultaneously be possible. So, unlinking `__init__.py` is bad.
Up to yesterday, I was in the belief that "attaching a pyx-file means"
that
1. the file is copied into a temporary directory,
2. the compilation is done there, and
3. the module is imported from the temporary directory.
Since the temporary directory would not contain `__init__.py`, there
should be no problem, isn't it?
