Updating Cython code....

Building sage/libs/mwrank/mwrank.c because it depends on sage/libs/mwrank/mwrank.pyx.

Finished updating Cython code (time = 5.777133 seconds)

So applying a patch introduced a .pyx file but the cache doesn't notice it because
it is new. This is a big problem. Maybe including the latest something from the
.hg directory in the cython .pyx hash that is computed in setup.py would very nicely
fix this.
