Summary: Allow weak referencing of classic classes

Initial Comment:
In Python 2.4, you can weakref instances of classic
classes but not the classes themselves.  Attached is a
patch which adds weakref support to classic classes.

I'm curious why you would ever want to do this.  It is
somewhat rare to delete a class reference and, I presume,
rarer still to need a weak-reference to such a class.
