Summary: 2.1b1 - dlmodule on 64-bit platform

Initial Comment:
Platform: Tru64 Unix, V4.0F.
setup.py builds Modules/dlmodule.c automatically
(without errors) but "make test" fails with
SystemError: module dl requires sizeof(int) ==
sizeof(long) == sizeof(char*)

On this platform, ints are 4 bytes, longs and pointers
are 8 bytes, so this module will not run, and probably
should not be built in the first place.

The dl module is now disabled on all platforms; few people 
seem to use it, and it's a risky module to run.  
People can enable it in Modules/Setup if they actually care.
