A simple extension module which can actually improve performance by
doing a critical operation in C. When fiddling the reference counting we often need to 1. unpack a 64bit string into a long 2. add a delta value to the long 3. pack the long into a 64bit string _helper.incr() does these three steps in C. This extension only works for Python 2.2, but Full.py has a Python replacement for use with Python 2.1.
