  Re-implement the 'warnings' module in C. This allows for usage of the
  'warnings' code in places where it was previously not possible (e.g., the
  parser). It could also potentially lead to a speed-up in interpreter start-up
  if the C version of the code (_warnings) is imported over the use of the
  Python version in key places.

  Closes issue #1631171.

  Allow Gnu gcc's to build python on OSX by removing -Wno-long-double,
  -no-cpp-precomp, and -mno-fused-madd from configure.
   * r22183 added -no-cpp-precomp, which
     http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-12/msg00368.html claims hasn't been
     needed since gcc-3.1.
   * r25607 added -Wno-long-double to avoid a warning in
     Include/objimpl.h (issue 525481). The long double is still there,
     but OSX 10.4's gcc no longer warns about it.
   * r33666 fixed issue 775892 on OSX 10.3 by adding -mno-fused-madd,
     which changed the sign of some float 0s. Tim Peters said it wasn't
     a real issue anyway, and it no longer causes test failures.
  Fixes issue #1779871.

  Force zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 to return a signed integer on all platforms
  regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object.

  This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for

  The behaviour of winsound.Beep() seems to differ between different versions of Windows when there's either:
      a) no sound card entirely
      b) legacy beep driver has been disabled
      c) the legacy beep driver has been uninstalled
  Sometimes RuntimeErrors are raised, sometimes they're not.  If _have_soundcard() returns False, don't expect winsound.Beep() to raise a RuntimeError, as this clearly isn't the case, as demonstrated by the various Win32 XP buildbots.
