[issue12424] distutils2: extension section uses bad environment marker separator

Latest patch looks good.

Looking at the examples with ';;' or even '--', I think that their role is non-obvious.  Even though the PEP and docs explained them, there is value in using intuitive (“guessable”) markup.  So if the constraints are that a marker delimiter should be non-ambiguous and short, why not using something like '#IF#' or '#condition:'?  (This will probably require agreement on the fellowship mailing list.)
