Well it's actually technically not a cvar_qualifier; it's a pseudo- 
arbitrarily attached keyword that can be stuck on any number of GCC- 
only constructs, like nested code: "__extension__ ({ foo(); 1; })"  
for example.

Probably the simplest thing to do is actually to just convert it into  
a nonexistent or whitespace token, or if there's a preprocessing step  
just #define it to the empty string.
