Summary: ctypes in_dll documented with wrong argument order

Initial Comment:
"Python Library Reference", section 14.14.2.6 "Data types"

Quote:

    in_dll( name, library) 

    This method returns a ctypes type instance exported
    by a shared library. name is the name of the symbol
    that exports the data, library is the loaded shared
    library. 


The arguments are reversed, of course. I believe the attached patch for libctypes.tex corrects it.
