So, just to extend the question a little (or reiterate, it may be that this is already covered and I didn't fully understand): On Windows, would a C extension author be able to distribute a single binary (bdist_wininst/bdist_msi) which would be compatible with with-LLVM and without-LLVM builds of Python? Actually, if we assume that only a single Windows binary, presumably with-LLVM, will be distributed on python.org, I'm probably being over-cautious here, as distributing binaries compatible with the python.org release should be sufficient. Nevertheless, I'd be interested in the answer.
