If the client isn't going to be modifying the Pyrex code,
then distributing the .c files is the best thing to do.
Also, the setup.py that you give to the client should
*not* be set up to run Pyrex by default.

The .c code produced by the previous and current versions
should work with 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, although I haven't tested
this thoroughly. On 64-bit platforms you might need to use
0.9.6 to get Py_ssize_t support.
