I think it would be interesting to see ctypes used to
provide the module-facing side of the CPython extension
API, so the Jython VM looks to the module like the
CPython VM.  Maybe this could be implemented first as
a passthrough in CPython using its ctypes, then ported
over to use the ctypes implementation in Jython.
