Python + Borland - msvcrt = grr.

[Stephen Hansen]

    Scanning over your patch, what is obvious from it being a plain-diff, it
seems we were indeed fixing the same things. Did you run a full test-suite
afterwards? I just did, and an 'import types' under a Borland-compiled
python21.dll + python.exe gives up a Memory Error.

    God knows why. I'm trying to figure out currently. I tried to do a trace
through in BCB, but, like, there is _far_ too much going on in the Python
internals for me to figure this out, I think. Eep.

    I'm also hitting some problems with porting _winreg -- Borland doesn't
have a '_mbstrlen', apparently, dispite hte fact that its documented. :) And
i'm not sure if it'd be safe to replace it with 'strlen', I'm sure they did
a multibyte version for a reason.

    Any ideas? Did you fix any of the above? And, this -D_DEBUG problem you
mentioned, I hanv't run into that I have found, yet.
