failing on Debian/alpha.  (log(9.88e-324) gives an unexpected ValueError
on that platform).  These checks will be removed again once the source
of the problem is identified.

I hope this is a reasonable way to approach the Debian/alpha buildbot
failures; if there's a better way of debugging buildbot test failures
then please let me know.

Issue 2440: remove the guard around the handling of case 'n' in getargs.c's convertsimple() such that we always treat it as an index type, regardless of whether or not sizeof(size_t) == sizeof(long).  Fix the test_args2.Signed_TestCase.test_n() such that it tests for adherence to PEP 357 (don't try and coerce objects that don't have nb_index slots but do have nb_int slots (i.e. floats) into indexes 'just because we can').  Three other commits are related to this one: r62269 and r62279, which were changes to PyNumber_Index (among other things) to check for nb_int slots when we lack nb_index slots -- and r62292, which is when I reverted these changes after various people pointed out that the test was in fact wrong, not the code.

  I finally got the time to update and merge Mark's and my trunk-math branch. The patch is collaborated work of Mark Dickinson and me. It was mostly done a few months ago. The patch fixes a lot of loose ends and edge cases related to operations with NaN, INF, very small values and complex math.

  The patch also adds acosh, asinh, atanh, log1p and copysign to all platforms. Finally it fixes differences between platforms like different results or exceptions for edge cases. Have fun :)

rewrite it so that it doesn't care about relative sizes of size_t,
long and long long.

The rewrite is modeled on PyLong_FromLong, instead of using
PyLong_FromByteArray;  this makes the algorithm simpler and
more direct, and possibly also slightly faster.
