[issue6820] Redefinition of HAVE_STRFTIME can cause compiler errors.

[rgpitts]

New submission from rgpitts <richard.pitts at cdl.co.uk>:

I'm working with the Python C API and omniOrb with Visual Studio 2008 
on Windows XP. 

A OmniOrb header corba_sys_dep.h is defining HAVE_STRFTIME as 1
...
#define HAVE_STRFTIME 1
...

pyconfig.h is then defining this again. 
...
#define HAVE_STRFTIME
...

This is raising a compiler warning and then multiple syntax errors in 
math.h depending on the order of inclusion of these headers. If the 
pyconfig.h is included after corba_sys_dep.h multiple syntax errors. 
However if it is included before only a warning is raised.

I think pyconfig.h needs changing to
#ifndef HAVE_STRFTIME
#define HAVE_STRFTIME
#endif
