1. Fallback to Pure Python if Compilation fails …

   Originally this code attempted to determine if compiling the C ext
   would succeed, and if it thought it should, it would then require that
   the C extension succeed in order to install. This fails in cases where
   the detection code passes, but compiling ultimately fails (one instance
   this might happen is if the Python headers are not installed).
   
   Instead of "asking permission", this code will now just attempt to
   compile the module, and will fall back to pure Python if that fails,
   unless the person has explicitly asked for the C module, in which case
   it will still just fail.
