Use distutils, it knows how to build extensions on all platforms.  If  
you're not using distutils, then you'll almost certainly do something  
incorrectly.  Distutils knows better than you which compiler and  
linker options to use for linking extensions.

Yes, the naming convention for Python extensions on Linux and Mac OS  
X happens to be the same.  The actual extension binaries are going to  
be very different and totally incompatible though.
