Fine...
BTW, I'm right now hacking on refnanny machinery... I think I'll use
PyLong_{From|As}VoidPtr for importing/exporting the API structure...
Making it simpler will make it also portable across all CPython

Additionally, I'll make a heavy renaming of some refnanny stuff,
things will be now named "__Pyx_RefNanny[XXX]".
