2a. Installer for example renames mk4py.dll found in package foo as
foo.mk4py.dll IMO this way we can have separate copy of each extension 
in each interpreter.

I am trying to grok Phillip J. Eby's ideas and produce something about 
Py_NewInterpreter.

IMHO not good - will need separate tests with each release.
