Jim Fulton 1f325562f0 Added some missing PyObject* casts in the deallocators.
Added some defines for PyMODINIT_FUNC so that the examples work
with Python 2.2.

I think I'm done hacking this documentation. Yippie! :)

Jim Fulton aed0a4a138 Rewrote the basic section of the chapter on defining new types.
Changed the example to show how to create types the new way:

- Use a class new method rather than a new function.

- Use self->ob_type->tp_free in deallocators

- Use attribute descriptors rather than set/getattr methods.

- Make the type usable as a base type.

I split the example into 3 parts:

1. The minimal new type

2. Adding attributes and methods.

3. Finer control over attributes.

It's much simpler to define builtin types. These updates hopefully
show this.

I also made minor wording changes in two other places.

I still need to update xxobject.c
