Agreed: pyport.h should be for platform dependant things: prototypes that
should be in standard include files, features/macros that are necessary on
some systems, etc. mymalloc.h should be renamed to pymalloc.h, because it
isn't a local copy of a system interface, but rather a seperate interface
that happens to mirror a well-known one, but can be implemented however one
wishes. It's Python's Memory Allocator ;-)
