[Cython] Abandon support for Python 2.3?

[Lisandro Dalcin]

Dag, suposse the only 2.4 feature you really need is @decorators,
then, Do you believe it would be too much hard to also implement a
code conversion tool transforming the cython 2.4 sources to valid 2.3
code?

I'm not still convinced... as long as cython is used as a command line
tool, you do not need cython depend on 2.3. Of couse, if you can
develop a code conversion tool for decorators, then go on with 2.4!!!
