Oh, seriously: HEADDESK!

Big thank you!

I had to recompile with bjam cxxflags=-fPIC though, otherwise the 
link would fail.

One question remains:
The next step in the tutorial is to:
>>> import hello_ext
>>> print hello.greet()
hello, world

But I get:
>>> import hello_ext
>>> hello.greet()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'hello' is not defined
>>> print hello_ext.greet()
hello, world
>>> 

Why is my module named hello_ext, when in the tutorial it says its just 
hello?

Regards,
Philipp
