Get rid of AC_CHECK_LIB(m, pow) since this is taken care of later with

LIBM (from --with-libm=...); this actually broke the customizability
offered by the latter option. Thanks go to Clay Spence for reporting
this.

Patch by Tim Peters to improve the range checks for range() and
...
xrange(), especially for platforms where int and long are different
sizes (so sys.maxint isn't actually the theoretical limit for the
length of a list, but the largest C int is -- sys.maxint is the
largest Python int, which is actually a C long).

Patch by Tadayoshi Funaba (with some changes) to be smarter about
...
guessing what happened when strftime() returns 0. Is it buffer
overflow or was the result simply 0 bytes long? (This happens for an
empty format string, or when the format string is a single %Z and the
timezone is unknown.) if the buffer is at least 256 times as long as
the format, assume the latter.

In atoi(), don't use isxdigit() to test whether the last character

converted was a "digit" -- use isalnum(). This test is there only to
