+1 for this kind of tests. 
But I would not have their source in the "official" Modules directory. I expect that there will be several tests of this kind, each one with different modules to import, functions to run, global settings to change.
IMO the C code should be somewhere in the test directory; later we could use templates to generate source code for similar tests.

Is it possible to use distutils to compile this test, and remove it from the Makefile?
