Cython/C++ edit-distance library. Wraps edlib's C++ core, compiled per-interpreter from a Cython-generated .cpp (no pyproject.toml, and the pre-generated source isn't checked in upstream either). Ships the root LICENSE into dist-info/licenses/, which upstream's own wheels omit entirely (patches/edlib/1.3.9.post1).

before-build's cwd is {project} (the invocation dir), not {package}
(the package-dir subdir) -- cython was looking for edlib.pyx at the
checkout root and failing on every job. Prefix with {package}.
