[New-bugs-announce] [issue1319] py3k: fixes for test_ctypes

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

New submission from Amaury Forgeot d'Arc:

Updates to ctypes for python 3.0 to make the tests pass.

Notable changes are:
- return bytes instead of str8
- integers in range(256) are accepted as "one char string":
libc.strchr("abcdef", 98) is now valid.
- directly use the wide-char version of the win32 function LoadLibrary.

Tested on WinXP, with Visual Studio Express 2005.
