I'm trying to hack together a redistributable python 2.7 wheel that contains some .so libs that have already been built for my platform (ubuntu 16.04). I know the better practice would be to modify setup.py to manage the compilation for these packages, but I don't think that's feasible in my case, as the current compilation is using a convoluted ./configure replacement that generates an enormous Makefile.

It seems like I should just be able to put my libraries in a wheel, but I can't find any clear documentation on doing this. Note that these are hand-build C-extensions, they don't use Cython or anything and there is no actual python source to see once the package is done.
