Check return result from Py_InitModule*().  This API can fail.

Probably should be backported.

datum.dsize can apparently be long on some systems.
Ensure we pass an int* to PyArg_Parse("s#"), not &datum.dsize

Will backport.

for Py_Main().

Thanks to Kalle Svensson and Skip Montanaro for the patches.

The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure.  Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers.  (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)

I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static.  This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

XXX I haven't updated the documentation.

library.  Since multiple versions can be installed simultaneously, it's
crucial that you only select libraries and header files which are compatible
with each other.  Version checking is done from highest version to lowest.
Building using version 1 of Berkeley DB is disabled by default because of
the hash file bugs people keep rediscovering.  It can be enabled by
uncommenting a few lines in setup.py.  Closes patch 553108.

type.__module__ behavior.

This adds the module name and a dot in front of the type name in every
type object initializer, except for built-in types (and those that
already had this).  Note that it touches lots of Mac modules -- I have
no way to test these but the changes look right.  Apologies if they're
not.  This also touches the weakref docs, which contains a sample type
object initializer.  It also touches the mmap test output, because the
mmap type's repr is included in that output.  It touches object.h to
put the correct description in a comment.

Changes to error messages to increase consistency & clarity.

This (mostly) closes SourceForge patch #101839.
