The "Extending and Embedding" document still says, in section "Building 
C and C++ Extensions on Windows":
http://docs.python.org/dev/extending/windows.html#a-cookbook-approach
that a C extension may be called spam.dll or spam_d.dll

Since version 2.5 the file must be called spam.pyd or spam_d.pyd - 
the .dll file extension isn't recognized anymore.

A proposed doc patch is attached.
