Subject: [PATCH] New APIs for embedding applications that want to add their
 own entries to the table of built-in modules.  This should normally be called
 *before* Py_Initialize().  When the malloc() or realloc() call fails, -1 is
 returned and the existing table is unchanged.

After a similar function by Just van Rossum.

int PyImport_ExtendInittab(struct _inittab *newtab);
int PyImport_AppendInittab(char *name, void (*initfunc)());
