Actually, I dont think any have ever worked - so no problem! :-)

The interface for extensions is minimal to say the least. There is a todo 
on the llvm backend to remove the (somewhat legacy) pyrex interface 
wrapper and support a richer set of objects that can be passed to and from 
CPython.

Thanks for doing a fix up of the llvm backend.

Cheers,
Richard
