a) would cause a big mismatch when users report errors to the pypy
upstream. Do not do it.
b) just looks overly complicated to me
c) naaaaaaah

How about something like:

pypy-2.1 (or pypy2-2.1)
pypy3-2.1

This would match the pypy versions perfectly in my opinion.

(On a side note: do you mind to move pypy betas into a pypy-devel port
or such alike? The beta versions currently prevent using pypy as
more or less stable replacement for CPython).

Cheers
Marcus
