[Cython] Cython 0.17 final released

[Stefan Behnel]

Hello everyone,

on behalf of the Cython project team, I'm proud to announce the final
release of Cython 0.17.

This is another major step forward in the development of the language that
will make life easier for a lot of users, rounds up some rough edges of the
compiler and adds (preliminary) support for CPython 3.3 and PyPy. It is
also the first final release of an implementation of PEP 380 (generator
delegation), before it will eventually appear in CPython 3.3.
