Repair portability of sign extension when reading signed ints on boxes
where sizeof(long)==8. This *was* broken on boxes where signed right shifts didn't sign-extend, but not elsewhere. Unfortunately, apart from the Cray T3E I don't know of such a box, and Guido has so far refused to buy me any Cray machines for home Python testing <wink>. More immediately interesting would be if someone could please test this on *any* sizeof(long)==8 box, to make sure I didn't break it.
