The plan is to have Python code for all functionality. So if you don't
have a C compiler, everything still works (just slower).

Second, all released tarballs will include the .c files, so you don't
need to have pyrex installed to compile the extensions.

It is still a bit under discussion whether to include the .c files in
source control. My feeling is that you shouldn't version generated
files. There are times when it would be nice (one of our benchmark
machines doesn't have pyrex installed yet). But overall I think not
versioning them is the better plan.
