I think this is trying to position PyPy more in the same corner as other
JIT compilers for CPython, as opposed to keeping it a completely separate
thing which suffers from being "not CPython". It's a huge dependency, but
so are others.

Being able to choose tools at this level is great, so if PyPy becomes yet
another way to speed up the critical 5% of a CPython application, that's a
good thing.
