Log Message:
[Bug #780231]  One of the changes described in the 2.3 "What's New" document

+ \item The C-level interface to the garbage collector has been changed
+ to make it easier to write extension types that support garbage

+ Various functions have slightly different semantics, so a bunch of

+ still compile but will \emph{not} participate in garbage collection,
+ so updating them for 2.2 should be considered fairly high priority.

+ To upgrade an extension module to the new API, perform the following

+ \item Rename \cfunction{Py_TPFLAGS_GC} to \cfunction{PyTPFLAGS_HAVE_GC}.

+ \item Use \cfunction{PyObject_GC_New} or \cfunction{PyObject_GC_NewVar} to
+ allocate objects, and \cfunction{PyObject_GC_Del} to deallocate them.

+ \item Rename \cfunction{PyObject_GC_Init} to \cfunction{PyObject_GC_Track} and
+ \cfunction{PyObject_GC_Fini} to \cfunction{PyObject_GC_UnTrack}.
