Well, if you want more feedback, merge the Linux stuff into the next version.
Here's a little patch against the tgz I sent that should make it run on Python
versions before 2.4.

BTW, is there a way to regenerate the C files that are used for comparison? I
tried running the test suite on my modified Pyrex version and it goes off
complaining at almost any test that it found differences from the expected C
output.
