[Cython] Best way to link in Cython utility code?

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Then It would be really easy to implement some ctypes hackery to make
globally visible the API required for nanny refcounting.

The only gotcha is that you would need to "install" this feature
before importing Cython-generated ext modules, I mean, something
similar to pyximport, where you have first to import andinstall() it
for make use of their features...

But a really nice thing about this approach is that you can run in
with an unmodified Python interpreter, and there is no need to link
extension modules with especial shared libs or other modules...
