[Distutils] Compatibility Tags and the Stable API

[Alex Grönholm]

Am I understanding this correctly? Even though the limited API is 
supposed to work on all CPython versions supporting the numbered API, I 
cannot do the compiling using a newer version (say 3.5) or it won't work 
with older ones (3.3, 3.4)?
