Summary: zlib.crc32 doesn't handle 0xffffffff seed

Initial Comment:
Reported by John Schmidt: zlibc.crc32 doesn't appear to
properly parse its seed argument.  For example:

######
>>> zlib.crc32('foobar',0xFFFFFFFF))
OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int
######

This appears to be fixed if we make the included patch
to zlibmodule.  I haven't tested this on a 64-bit
platform, though; can someone look into this?

Hope this helps!
