Summary: workaround deprecated ostat structure in <sys/stat.h>

Initial Comment:
This is a patch to python/python/dist/src/Include/pyport.h, CVS 
revision 2.70.

On Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), the file /usr/include/sys/stat.h  contains 
the ostat structure, which the in-file comments call "XXX So 
deprecated, it would make your head spin".  This structure is not 
used by the kernel and should not be used by user programs (so the 
comments say).

An "#ifndef _POSIX_C_SOURCE" protects #includers of sys/stat.h 
from this horrible struct (which doesn't even compile).  This patch to 
Include/pyport.h makes sure that _POSIX_C_SOURCE is always 
defined before including sys/stat.h.

Notably, this patch enables the stock Darwinports port of PyOpenGL 
(py-opengl) to compile and run just fine on Tiger.
