The reason I didn't add this yet was I felt the old logic just tried "everthing possible", and wanted a more principled approach. Hard-coding things like pypy means this might...
The first, simple step I'd assume is to make sure we can compile against free-threaded mode but still hold the GIL. I've fixed the four tests fail due to refcount...
Please, please, please use a proper build backend designed for CMake like [scikit-build-core](https://scikit-build-core.rtfd.io). There are long list of benefits that you’ll have to solve yourself if you do it yourself....
