   _AIX		-- AIX style dynamic linking
   MS_WIN32	-- Windows NT style dynamic linking (using DLLs)
   MS_WIN16	-- Windows 16-bit dynamic linking (using DLLs)
   PYOS_OS2 -- IBM OS/2 dynamic linking (using DLLs)
   _DL_FUNCPTR_DEFINED	-- if the typedef dl_funcptr has been defined
   USE_MAC_DYNAMIC_LOADING -- Mac CFM shared libraries
   SHORT_EXT	-- short extension for dynamic module, e.g. ".so"
   LONG_EXT	-- long extension, e.g. "module.so"
   hpux		-- HP-UX Dynamic Linking - defined by the compiler
   __NetBSD__	-- NetBSD shared libraries
