[Cython] GSoC Proposal - Reimplement C modules in CPython's standard library in Cython.

[Arthur de Souza Ribeiro]

I've made some changes to my proposal, as you said, I changed the number of
modules I'm going to reimplement, I jumped from three to twelve modules,
what modules are these and when I want to implement is described at:

and

would appreciate a lot.

Best Regards.
