Summary: __name__ available during class dictionary build

Initial Comment:
It would be nice if __name__ would be defined in the
class block during it's construction. I have a code
generator which generates C-structure wrappers and this
would make it cleaner.

> class Test(object):
>    print __name__
>    #print locals()["__name__"] - this should also work

It should print "Test" and not the name of the current
module (global __main__).

I looked through the source code to see how this could
be implemented, but I don't understand exactly what's
going on and I'm afraid I'll broke something since the
class name is stored in a slot.

Here's some sample code I'm using. I could get rid of
the extra "MSG" parameter if this is implemented.

> from Structure import Structure
> from px.Structure.POINT import POINT

> class MSG(object):

>         ("HWND", "hwnd"),
>         ("UINT", "message"),
>         ("WPARAM", "wParam"),
>         ("LPARAM", "lParam"),
>         ("DWORD", "time"),
>         (POINT, "pt"))
>
>     Structure(globals(), locals(), "MSG")
