                     ^^^^^^^^
Can you or someone else please tell what that "whatever" part might
be, and how do I use this command to verify that the extensions indeed
load into python?

Also, which bzr-git commands are expected to gain performance due to
the extensions, and what kind of speedup I should expect?

I think I succeeded to build the extensions using the above
instructions (I will report the details in a separate message when I'm
done testing), but I have difficulty convincing myself that the
extensions are indeed used and work.  So I need help in that
department, please.

TIA
