DOC: Extend Windows rpath error message with likely cause#161
Conversation
Extend the error message for attempting to call `runtime_library_dir_option` on Windows with the most likely way I have found to trigger the call, creating an `Extension` that specifies `runtime_library_dirs`. Hopefully this will give users something to search for in their `setup.py` and a starting point for what to change. Inspired by pypa/setuptools#3450.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The original message appears to be a copy/paste from line 279. Probably we'll want to consolidate the messaging (even though one is an error and one is a warning). I'll use this commit as inspiration for a more concise message.

Extensionas well?
