There are still some other options which can be used to handle special cases.
-The :option:`optional` option is a boolean; if it is true,
-a build failure in the extension will not abort the build process, but
-instead simply not install the failing extension.

The :option:`extra_objects` option is a list of object files to be passed to the

compiler is used.
