on a release 'python.exe' for a debug build of _ssl.  It may happen that
Python.exe is currently broken, and we are trying to rebuild from scratch.

!HAVE_INET_ATON case.  Repaired that, and tried to repair what looked
like out-of-date comments.

Needs review.

inet_aton() rather than inet_addr() -- the latter is obsolete because
it has a problem: "255.255.255.255" is a valid address but
indistinguishable from an error.

(I'm not sure if inet_aton() exists everywhere -- in case it doesn't,
I've left the old code in with an #ifdef.)

 Add missing INCREFs and re-indent returns to be consistent.
 Add \n\ for lines in docstring
 Add a pathetic test
 Add docs

mostly from SF patch #683257, but I had to change unlock_import() to
return an error value to avoid fatal error.

Should this be backported?  The patch requested this, but it's a new
feature.

folded; this will change in Python 2.4.  On a 32-bit machine, this
happens for 0x80000000 through 0xffffffff, and for octal constants in
the same value range.  No warning is issued if an explicit base is
given, *or* if the string contains a sign (since in those cases no
sign folding ever happens).

Volunteers wanted to fix it!)

"Unsigned" (i.e., positive-looking, but really negative) hex/oct
constants with a leading minus sign are once again properly negated.
The micro-optimization for negated numeric constants did the wrong
thing for such hex/oct constants.  The patch avoids the optimization
for all hex/oct constants.

This needs to be backported to Python 2.2!
