Converted to PyArg_ParseTuple() with method names to get better error
messages.

Convert to four-space indents.

Clarify some of the details of readline-related configuration.

Convert to using PyArg_ParseTuple() as appropriate to allow method names
in error messages.
Re-indent to four-space indentation.

This was a convenient excuse to create the pyport.h file recently
discussed!
Please use new Py_ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT when right-shifting a
signed int and you *need* sign-extension.  This is #define'd in
pyport.h, keying off new config symbol SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS.
If you're running on a platform that needs that symbol #define'd,
the std tests never would have worked for you (in particular,
at least test_long would have failed).
The autoconfig stuff got added to Python after my Unix days, so
I don't know how that works.  Would someone please look into doing
& testing an auto-config of the SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS
symbol?  It needs to be defined if & only if, e.g., (-1) >> 3 is
not -1.

contains 16 bits.  Not true on Cray J90.

Stein -- thanks!).  Incidentally removed all the Py_PROTO macros
from object.h, as they prevented my editor from magically finding
the definitions of the "coercion", "cmpfunc" and "reprfunc"
typedefs that were being redundantly applied in longobject.c.

Allow -f* parameters to be passed to the compiler from Setup files.

rid of Py_PROTO, switched to ANSI function decls, and did some
minor fiddling.

Patch by T. Wouters.

This adds support for instance to the constructor (instances
have to define __str__ and can return Unicode objects via that
hook; string return values are decoded into Unicode using the
current default encoding).

The old API PyUnicode_FromObject() is still available as shortcut.

So many things have changed over the last few weeks that it's probably a good idea to check the project files in again.

Changed all (hopefully) uses of unsigned 16 bit value to use H format specifier, now that h is signed-only.

corrected some usage of 'unsigned long' where Py_UNICODE
should have been used.
