 This is because the compiled file is now multiarray.cpython-32mu.so not
 multiarray.so or multiarray.pyd as the ctypeslib was previously expecting.
 One fix is to add in ctypeslib around line 100:

 {{{
             py_exts = [suf for suf, mode, mtype in imp.get_suffixes()
                         if mtype == imp.C_EXTENSION]
 }}}

 to the extensions to be tested (which will pick up .so along with cpython-
 32mu.so and modulecpython-32mu.so).  This would mean, for non-python
 libraries, the number of exts to search for would increase, presumably not
 very usefully because we don't often use ctypeslib for python extensions,
 I suppose.
