[C++-sig] example in lvalue_from_pytype won't compile

[Mark Russell]

Sorry David,

The error message did not give me much of a hint on how to fix the problem.
I must admit I am struggling a bit with c++, BPL has for the most part made
the project I am working on very smooth going, most of the problems I am
running into are actually my own lack of c++ expertise.  BPL is certainly
the best wrapper lib I have ever worked with.  Thanks again for all your
help.  --Mark

Mark, when posting errors, please make an effort to clearly indicate
the line where the error occurred. You probably would have been able
to figure out the problem and submit a patch if you had done this!
