Merging need-for-speed-revenge branch [a=niemeyer,jamesh,radix]
[r=jamesh,therve]
This branch introduces a number of fixes, optimizations, and extensions
on the cextensions module, with speedup purposes. The module is now
built by default, but still disabled unless the STORM_CEXTENSIONS=1
environment variable is defined.
Besides these, Chris also provided a mechanism to cache ClassAliases,
to prevent the cost of rebuilding the ClassInfo for each alias.
