What exactly does this macro look like? It's hard to give
any advice without knowing just how difficult a case we're
talking about.

You can already do that if you can get away with pretending
that the macro is really a function, e.g.

  cdef extern from "somefile.h":
    foo *blarg_macro(int, spam *)

Because it's inside a "cdef extern from", Pyrex doesn't
generate any declaration for blarg_macro, and the C
compiler picks up the real definition from the .h file.
