2.x signed value. Also, don't waste space on a table full of unsigned longs
when all it needs are unsigned ints (incase anyone builds this without zlib on
a 64-bit unix for some strange reason).
tested by forcing it to compile this version on both 32-bit and 64-bit linux.
platforms with a 64-bit long.
The Alpha/Tru64 test problem is a problem in either tarfile or test_tarfile,
not zlib.
crc32 and adler32 return 32-bit values. by using a long thats larger than
32-bits in these functions they were prevented from wrapping around to their
signed 32-bit value that we want them to return in python 2.x.
which made the return value signed. On the Alpha that also lost data
since sizeof(int) != sizeof(long) and apparently adler32/crc32 return
64 bits of data. This change keeps the signedness and continues to store the
data in a long rather than an int as was the case before r61449.
The patch adds wrappers for the Linux epoll syscalls and the BSD kqueue syscalls. Thanks to Thomas Herve and the Twisted people for their support and help.

when used on platforms that actually define ioctl as taking an unsigned long.

Adds a unittest for fcntl.ioctl that tests what happens with both positive and
negative numbers.
This was done because of issue1471 but I'm not able to reproduce -that- problem
in the first place on Linux 32bit or 64bit or OS X 10.4 & 10.5 32bit or 64 bit.
uid and gid input to accept values >=2**31 as valid while still accepting
negative numbers to pass -1 to chown for "no change".
Fixes issue1747858.
This should be backported to release25-maint.
regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object.
This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for
compatibility reasons of always returning an integer rather than a long object.
Fixes Issue1202 for Python 2.6
The bundled libffi copy is now in sync with the recently released
libffi3.0.4 version, apart from some small changes to
Modules/_ctypes/libffi/configure.ac.
I gave up on using libffi3 files on os x.
Instead, static configuration with files from pyobjc is used.
My tests don't show the promised speed up of 10%. The code is as fast as the old code for simple cases and slightly faster for complex cases with several of args and kwargs. But the patch simplifies the code, too.
