We are using a mro approach. :)

We aren't using the C3 algorithm for new-style extension classes.

The MRO computation for new-style extension classes is designed to
maximize backward compatability.  The algorithm is described in detail
in the docstring for the test_mro test in
lib/python/ExtensionClass/tests.py.
