What is the benefit of running the system wide cython? I do see that some
other cython-based packages do choose to run cython (or at least
build-depend on cython).  Unfortunately the current lack of a
python3-cython package would prevent us from running cython on the
python3-mpi4py build anyway.  :(

bin/python-mpi: Yes, it's a new "feature" but it is of questionable
relevance.  I have yet to encounter an actual use case, as the "from mpi4py
import MPI" line in your code runs the same MPI_Init routine.  Perhaps this
might be of use with certain versions of MPI?  Regardless, the setup.py
script installs this file into /.../dist-packages/mpi4py/bin/python-mpi
which is outside the default PATH.  I suppose we should move this to
/usr/bin/pythonX.Y-mpi?

The lib-pmpi/*.so files do seem to be used by some profiling feature.  I've
re-included them and updated the package.
