I finished merging both now and also the parser cleanup (it now has a parser
context object instead of tons of pass-through keyword arguments, that was so
over-due...). After adapting lxml to the stricter nogil checking (and applying
the temporary (?) fix I posted), all seems to work just fine for me.

I think the next big test is Sage then. Anyone? :)

Robert, if I'm not mistaken, this means that the next Cython release will be
0.9.8.15, right? Could you double-check that all Pyrex changes are in now? We
seem to be missing at least the forward declaration simplifications, Pyrex
changesets 71/74/76. I think they'd be nice to have.

We also have to check that we added all new test cases from Pyrex, at least
into the tests/compile and tests/errors directories. I'll have close to no
time this weekend, but since this is a simple task, maybe someone else could
take a start here? More tests means a better release on Monday.
