1. [New issue] ctype legacy support
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/35326
User paweljasinski has proposed the issue:

"the following appears to be agreed way of doing things in cpython:
import ctypes
import ctypes.wintypes
GetStdHandle = ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetStdHandle
GetStdHandle.argtypes = [ ctypes.wintypes.DWORD, ]
GetStdHandle.restype = ctypes.wintypes.HANDLE
print GetStdHandle(-11) # line 8

When run, ironpython has a problem with it.
rejap at WIN-CUE1I6EN9JB ~/tmp
$ ipy ctypes-stdhandle.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ctypes-stdhandle.py", line 8, in <module>
TypeError: expected unsigned long, got int

and the same under cpython 2.7-64:
rejap at WIN-CUE1I6EN9JB ~/tmp
$ /c/Python27/python ctypes-stdhandle.py
424
