Summary: Extension module C-API

Initial Comment:
Create a runtime C-API for the extension module similar to cStringIO's for access to the loaded modules types and various functions.

struct PyPgEM_RTAPI *PyPgEM_RTAPI;
PyPgEM_RTAPI = PyObject_GetAttrString(mod, "C-API");
PyPgEM_RTAPI->Type->Object;
PyPgEM_RTAPI->Function->PyErr_FromErrorData();

Something like that.

Currently, pl.c includes error.c for a dependency on some error functions that are used in the ist_* routines. If a pl is going to have pl specific features like ist_*, then this is necessary to avoid the redundancy of #including dependencies into the source or linking against the extension module(eww).

This will also obliterate the ton of PyObject_GetAttrString's on _init.
