Adds support for raw packets (AF_PACKET) under Linux. I haven't
tested this code thoroughly; it compiles and the basic calls all work
without crashing. Not sure what to actually do with raw sockets though.
Not sure what other platforms this might be useful for.
This doesn't change the copyright status for these files -- just the

the HEAD revision was pushed back into 1.6.
for systems that are missing those declarations from system include files.
Start by moving a pointy-haired ones from their previous locations to the
new section.
(The gethostname() one, for instance, breaks on several systems, because
some define it as (char *, size_t) and some as (char *, int).)
I purposely decided not to include the summary of used #defines like Tim did
in the first section of pyport.h. In my opinion, the number of #defines
likedly to be used by this section would make such an overview unwieldy. I
would suggest documenting the non-obvious ones, though.
and a couple of functions that were missed in the previous batches. Not
terribly tested, but very carefully scrutinized, three times.
All these were found by the little findkrc.py that I posted to python-dev,
which means there might be more lurking. Cases such as this:
long
func(a, b)
long a;
long b; /* flagword */
{
and other cases where the last ; in the argument list isn't followed by a
newline and an opening curly bracket. Regexps to catch all are welcome, of
course ;)
This patch fixes possible overflows in the socket module for 64-bit
platforms (mainly Win64). The changes are:
- abstract the socket type to SOCKET_T (this is SOCKET on Windows, int
on Un*x), this is necessary because sizeof(SOCKET) > sizeof(int) on
Win64
- use INVALID_SOCKET on Win32/64 for an error return value for
accept()
- ensure no overflow of the socket variable for: (1) a PyObject return
value (use PyLong_FromLongLong if necessary); and (2) printf
formatting in repr().
Closes SourceForge patch #100516.

(This is not exactly what Vladimir posted to the patches list; I've
made a few changes, and Vladimir sent me a fix in private email for a
problem that only occurs in debug mode. I'm also holding back on his
change to main.c, which seems unnecessary to me.)
socklen_t (unsigned int) for most size parameters. Apparently this is
part of the UNIX 98 standard.
[GvR: the changes to configure.in etc. that I just checked in make
sure that socklen_t is defined everywhere, so I deleted the little
part of Jack's mod to define socklen_t if not in GUSI2. I suppose I
will have to add it to the Windows config.h in a minute.]
Windows), soclose (on OS2), or to close (everywhere else).
Hopefully this fixes a new compilation error that I suddenly get on
Windows because the macro definition for close -> closesocket
apparently was done before including io.h, which contains a prototype
for close. (No idea why this wasn't an error before.)

the right variant of gethostbyname_r for us, since not all Linuxes are
equal in this respect. Reported by Laurent Pointal.
(2) On BeOS, Chris Herborth reports that instead of arpa/inet.h you
must include net/netdb.h to get the inet_ntoa() and inet_addr()
prototypes.
