I don't think there's anything in the build process that should make
an extension of .pyf

I'm not sure if this is the info Misha needs, but: The embedding test
is essentially just a normal test that builds and runs an application.
All of the other tests have two parts: building one or more shared
libraries (the pyd files are just dlls with a different extension),
and running the Python application to test them.  The .run file
contains the output of invoking Python, and if the result code is
zero, the .test file gets created to mark the test as having
succeeded.
