Modelled by ones used in Linux kernel.

It is an early project decision to use gnu99 & Plan9 C extensions, to
simplify C code.

So far we only build stub wendelin/bigfile/_bigfile.so .

Makefile is introduced because there will be targets which are easier to
handle at make level. For end users no make knowledge is required -
usual `python setup.py build|install|...` work, redirecting to make
where necessary.

As was promised (e870781d "Top-level in-tree import redirector")
setup.py contains install-time hooks to handle in-tree wendelin.py and
install it as a module namespace.

For sdist, we just use `git ls-files` info if we are in a checkout.

Prepare for building stuff and add commonly produced files to our
.gitignore .

This will be a module to allow users to program custom file-like
backends and latter memory-map content of files from the backend.

For now just start the module structure.

Unfortunately in CCAN they made separation of list_head into list_head &
list_node (for better type safety I suppose), but that leads e.g. to
inablility to insert element in the middle of the list.

We take the code from util-linux.git (v2.25-165-g9138d6f)[1] which claims
LGPL license for it, with which we are fine.

CCAN[1] is a "Comprehensive C Archive Network" - a collection of useful
C libraries to use.

Wendelin.core will be a C project in big part, so having CCAN at hand is
useful.

We hook CCAN as git submodule, without copying it into git repo. Later
on making source tarball distribution, the code will be injected into
generated tarball, so there will be no additional dependencies to
download something from network for end users.

For working copy checkout we would like to work on the source
right-away, without putting it under additional wendelin/ (and possibly
/core/) subdirectories.

Add in-tree modules redirector which tweaks plain-python and
pkg_resources-based imports so that e.g.

    import wendelin.bigarray

while in-tree resolves to

    bigarray/__init__.py

In installed state, there will be no such redirector, and code will be
installed with conventional structure.

As a first step we want to make sure the code can be used by open-source
projects without a problem.

So GPLv3+ with wide exception for all open-source licenses.

The project to implement Out-of-core NumPy arrays in backward-compatible
way.
