Summary: Patches for OpenBSD 4.0

Initial Comment:
Hi,

There are several points in the Python-2.5b3 code that
need to be modified to properly support OpenBSD 4.x.
This is mostly because of a dependence on sys.platform
returning "openbsd3", which is no longer true for
OpenBSD CVS - OpenBSD 4.0 is in beta right now, to be
released in a couple of months.

The attached patch (against SVN head) fixes this. It
would be great if this can make it in for Python-2.5.

I modified the change to configure.in to be explicit.  This
is generally what we do so if the platform does change, we
are ok.

Committed revision 51727. 2.5
Committed revision 51728.

No, these patches are required to build and pass regress on
OpenBSD 4.0. It wasn't a simple search and replace exercise.

Did you confirm that each of these hunks are necessary with
4.0 or did you just copy anywhere there was openbsd3 and add
openbsd4?

Thanks.

Speaking of OpenBSD, Gentoo has an additional patch to
compile for OpenBSD, I'll attach it here without looking
into it.
