[C++-sig] exporting __stdcall methods

[Nicolas Lelong]

Hi !

as I have some time ahead, I upgraded my codebase to latest boost snapshot. 
I was quite surprised to see that, by default, BPL still can't export 
__stdcall & __fastcall functions, or, at least, I could not find anything 
that allows that !...

I thought that it may be useful to send my patch to deal with these calling 
conventions...

I improved somewhat the patch I used before to handle the situation a little 
bit like type_traits lib does, by adding two defines that should sit in BPL 
config.hpp : BOOST_PYTHON_ENABLE_STDCALL and BOOST_PYTHON_ENABLE_FASTCALL.

I did not go on tweaking or adding a specific test, as I first wanted to 
have some feedback about the usefulness of such a patch and about the 
quality of the one I'm proposing.

Any thoughts ?
Regards,

Nicolas.
