Someone who knows what they are doing needs to replace this with something
that makes sense -- I'm not running Windows right now.

This'll work fine with 2.0 or 1.5.2, but is less than ideal for
1.6a1/a2.  But the code to accomodate 1.6a1/a2 was released with
Distutils 0.9, so it can go away now.

Change a 1.6 version number used in a an example in a comment to 2.0.

Fix PC/msvcrtmodule.c and PC/winreg.c for Win64. Basically:

- sizeof(HKEY) > sizeof(long) on Win64, so use PyLong_FromVoidPtr()
instead of PyInt_FromLong() to return HKEY values on Win64

- Check for string overflow of an arbitrary registry value (I know
that ensuring that a registry value does not overflow 2**31 characters
seems ridiculous but it is *possible*).

Applied SF patch #100684 (loewis) to fix help alignment bug.

The common technique for printing out a pointer has been to cast to a long
and use the "%lx" printf modifier. This is incorrect on Win64 where casting
to a long truncates the pointer. The "%p" formatter should be used instead.

The problem as stated by Tim:
> Unfortunately, the C committee refused to define what %p conversion "looks
> like" -- they explicitly allowed it to be implementation-defined. Older
> versions of Microsoft C even stuck a colon in the middle of the address (in
> the days of segment+offset addressing)!

The result is that the hex value of a pointer will maybe/maybe not have a 0x
prepended to it.


Notes on the patch:

There are two main classes of changes:
- in the various repr() functions that print out pointers
- debugging printf's in the various thread_*.h files (these are why the
patch is large)


Closes SourceForge patch #100505.

This patch fixes possible overflow in the use of
PyOS_GetLastModificationTime in getmtime.c and Python/import.c.

Currently PyOS_GetLastModificationTime returns a C long. This can
overflow on Win64 where sizeof(time_t) > sizeof(long). Besides it
should logically return a time_t anyway (this patch changes this).

As well, import.c uses PyOS_GetLastModificationTime for .pyc
timestamping.  There has been recent discussion about the .pyc header
format on python-dev.  This patch adds oveflow checking to import.c so
that an exception will be raised if the modification time
overflows. There are a few other minor 64-bit readiness changes made
to the module as well:

- size_t instead of int or long for function-local buffer and string
length variables

- one buffer overflow check was added (raises an exception on possible
overflow, this overflow chance exists on 32-bit platforms as well), no
other possible buffer overflows existed (from my analysis anyway)

Closes SourceForge patch #100509.
