I've recently discovered that ubuntu has a python-dbg package that,
unlike every other *nix installation, helpfully follows the Windows
convention of requiring the "_d" suffix on extension modules
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PyDbgBuilds).

There doesn't seem to be any way to probe for that, so we need a way
to allow the user to specify a suffix that will be added to extension
module names for a particular installation of python (assuming that
multiple pythons can be configured). I'm not sure about the correct
way to handle this. Should the suffix be a feature?
