I think it can actually be simplified. I think maintaining binary
compatibility between 2.6 and earlier versions is hopeless anyway, so
we might as well just rename PyString to PyBytes in 2.6 and 3.0, and
have an extra set of macros so that code using PyString needs to be
recompiled but not otherwise touched. E.g.

typedef { ... } PyBytesObject;
#define PyStringObject PyBytesObject

. PyString_Type;
#define PyBytes_Type PyString_Type
