setup.py --hpy-abi=universal build_ext --inplace doesn't work

As the title says:

$ cd proof-of-concept
$ rm build -rf
$ python3 setup.py --hpy-abi=universal build_ext --inplace
...

I also tried to comment out the "please delete" check in hpy/devel/__init__.py, but things still don't work:

It seems that the stub pof.py is not copied to the inplace directory. If I copy it manually, it works.

Fixed in #143.
