We could even do some voodoo stuff in the setup.py file to compile Cython for
the platform by running itself uncompiled. :)

I fixed and worked around a couple of trivial things. No need to implement
generator support for a single "yield" statement in the source, for example.
Three things remain that should be fixed in Cython:
1) keywords differing from Python, like "signed". It would be nice if this
could be fixed, e.g. by providing alternative interpretations of a symbol
in the parser (not in general, just for single identifiers).
2) "def" inside a block/function. This requires closures, as we know.
3) getattr(a,b)/getattr(a,b,c), i.e. alternative signatures for builtins.
We should be able to work around all of them, especially 1) and 3), but the
"def" part is really worth implementing.
A fourth thing I found (and I'm not sure what to do here):
- __file__ - this is supposed to return the file that holds the module
*at runtime*. Really tricky to do from a C module ...
