The logic for finding long matches before short ones was wrong (why did I never notice this??!?), fixed.

If there was a NULL registry key, Python could barf.

Also wraps some surrounding lines to 80 chars.

declarations, added some comments where I had to think too hard to
understand what was happening, and changed the primary internal get/set
functions to assert they're passed objects of the correct type instead of
doing runtime tests for that (it's an internal error that "should never
happen", so it's good enough to check it only in the debug build).

  interpreter the .spec file refers to.
Cosmetic tweaks.

It's hard to sort out what the bug was, exactly.  So, Big Hammer:

1. Python shouldn't be in the business of #define'ing NULL, period.
2. Users of the Python C API shouldn't be in the business of not including
   Python.h, period.

Hence:

1. Removed all #define's of NULL in Python source code (pyport.h and
   object.h).
2. Since we're *relying* on stdio.h defining NULL, put an #error in
   Python.h after its #include of stdio.h if NULL isn't defined then.

Takes care of the extra_path argument to the setup function,
installs the modules into <prefix>/extra_path and creates
a -pth file (like install_lib does).

Paid more attention to the comments on the report; Martin suggested just
not having a __del__() method, which makes more sense in this case.  So
I have removed it.

This closes SourceForge bug #113850.  Again.

The posixfile __del__ method attempts to close the file (_file_) it
contains. However, if the open() method fails, then _file_ is never
assigned.

This closes SourceForge bug #113850.

all, either to see whether the # of chars fit in an int, or that the
amount of memory needed fit in a size_t.  Checking these is expensive, but
the alternative is silently wrong answers (as in the bug report) or
core dumps (which were easy to provoke using Unicode strings).
