The poll() function supplied with MacOS 10.3 (panther) is an emulated 
functionality, which is broken for invalid file descriptors (fails to set 
POLLNVAL).  Added check in configure to suppress poll on systems 
where it is broken.

Now test_poll.py is skipped on MacOS X.  When/if poll is fixed, this test 
should be run again.

Fixed in:
configure 1.442
configure.in 1.453
pyconfig.h.in 1.96
selectmodule.c 2.76
