This provides a more reliable way to determine that we are definitely imported from an astropy source checkout, by checking for a file .astropy-root that would only ever possibly exist in this case.  This is inessential though and can be removed if people want to get rid of this extra top-level file.
Actually this is better; we can put the special .astropy-root file under static/ so that it's not cluttering up the actual root.  But this is good enough for the desired purposes.
Add an explanation to .astropy-root
If extension modules need to be recompiled, automatically try running build_ext --inplace rather than just failing to import--very convenient.  At some point this should be extended to work for any extension module (rather than just using the utils._compiler heuristic) but that could be a little trickier
