I looked at a diff with r84330 from the py3k branch.

Extensions built with Py_LIMITED_API have the python version encoded in it's 
name.  Which abi name should be used for these extensions?

  - The m and u modifiers in the abi name are complimentary (?)
  - debug builds and Py_LIMITED_API are incompatible (?) and therefore
    the current name should be used?
  - For posix systems the implementation is currently part of the abi name,
    are Py_LIMITED_API extensions supposed to be compatible with e.g. PyPy?
    Should the LIMITED_API abi name include the implementation string?
  - Should the distutils support for LIMITED_API be part of the pep, or
    be implemented later?

In favour of the pep.
