raise ValueError.  Checked in the patch as far as it went, but also changed
all of ints, longs and floats to raise ZeroDivisionError instead when raising
0 to a negative number.  This is what 754-inspired stds require, as the "true
result" is an infinity obtained from finite operands, i.e. it's a singularity.
Also changed float pow to not be so timid about using its square-and-multiply
algorithm.  Note that what math.pow does is unrelated to what builtin pow
does, and will still vary by platform.

Remove some debugging messages - although this code is a complete hack, we dont need to announce it to the world every time they use freeze!

Apparently, on SunOS 4.1.4_JL (and other?) OSes, -d on an empty string
always returns true.  This closes SF bug #115392.

This should not be used for new code, but will probably make porting
old extensions to 2.0 a lot easier.

PyLong, was used for the return value of a class __hash__ method, which
*must* return a PyInt. Solution: hash() the id(self) value.
