Ned: Keeping "darwin" as the platform tag is fine with me. It is slightly ugly 
because it doesn't match the platform tag used by distutils/setuptools, but is 
also something that most users won't use directly.

That said: there was some talk about supporting iOS on python-ideas a while 
back, and using "darwin" as the platform tag for both would mean that you 
couldn't have a tree with extensions for both at the same time (assuming you 
can have extensions on iOS in the first place, I haven't kept track about the 
possibilities for shared libraries on iOS and it wasn't possible in the past)

The suffix change would be nice to have, but I haven't thought about the 
implications for 3th-party tools at all. I agree that this could cause problems 
for them, and that's not worth the very minor improvement in nameing.
