[pypy-dev] Python C-API on Windows

[Antonio Cuni]

Hi Johan,
the extension module needs to have an extension like *.pypy-22.pyd: this is
to avoid trying to load cpython modules by mistake.
You should use setup.py+distutils to build your module, so that such
details are taken into account automatically.

ciao,
Anto
