Summary: configure weakness on Solaris 5.8

Initial Comment:
Python version: 2.2.2b1
Operating system: Solaris 5.8

After checking for  the presence of whar.h, configure
failed to include it in the subsequent check for the
size of wchar_t.  
A work around was to create configure from configure.in
using a later version of autoconf (I used 2.53) which
recognises the test AC_CHECK_SIZEOF with the syntax
used:
AC_CHECK_SIZEOF(wchar_t, 4, [#include <wchar.h>])

Note that default-includes can be used in this case
because wchar_t is defined in stddef.h.
