I think that's a result of Python 3.2 changing the extension module
file naming scheme (IIRC to a versioned one).

The '.pyd' ending and its Unix counterpart are IIRC hardcoded to the
failing test, or some support code in Numpy. Clearly, they should instead
ask Python how it names the extensions modules. This information may be
available somewhere in the `sys` module.
