The "fix" suggested on StackOverflow is to disable building all 
extension modules all the time.  I love PyPy, but degrading 
functionality on CPython isn't an acceptable resolution to this problem 
at this time.

To make progress, I suppose we can just say that we'll fix PyPy+cpyext 
for now, and worry about PyPy-cpyext later (or never).

That means updating the build configuration so we actually have 
PyPy+cpyext and verifying the issue is really resolved.  Then the branch 
can probably be merged.
