Summary: patch for building trunk with VC6

Initial Comment:
Hello. I tried to build trunk with VC6, but failed.
The reasons are

 - _W64 is not defined on VC6. (PC/pyconfig.h)

 - intptr_t and uintptr_t are not decleared on VC6.
(should use Py_intptr_t and Py_uintptr_t respectively)

I'll submit the patch for these two issues as
"build_trunk_for_vc6.patch".

And more two issues.

 - zlib was make built into pythoncore, but
PC/VC6/pythoncore.dsp is not updated for it yet.

I'll submit the file itself.

 - long long cannot be used on VC6, so 0xFFFFULL is
failed to compile with "invalid suffix" error.

I workarounded this replaced ULL with UI64 (_int64's
suffix) but I don't know how to make the patch. maybe
can this tequnique be used?

  #define Py_ULL(x) x##ULL /* non VC6 */

  #define Py_ULL(x) x##UI64 /* VC6 */

  Py_ULL(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF) instead of 0xFFF...FULL

Is there anything preventing this patch from being 
applied? It would help me with building the trunk using 
both VC6 and Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (for 
Windows CE).

Raymond, maybe this will help get VC6 building?
