* Added C coded getrandbits(k) method that runs in linear time.
* Call the new method from randrange() for ranges >= 2**53.
* Adds a warning for generators not defining getrandbits() whenever they
have a call to randrange() with too large of a population.
The attached patch enables shared extension
modules to build cleanly under Cygwin without
moving the static initialization of certain function
pointers (i.e., ones exported from the Python
DLL core) to a module initialization function.
Additionally, this patch fixes the modules that
have been changed in the past to accommodate
Cygwin.
