Comment:
An existing comment in this file says...
some C++ #include's don't like to be included
inside an extern "C"
....however numerous standard #includes were inside that extern "C". This patch just reorders a few things, so all the #includes are at the top, outside the extern "C".

Comment:
Various standard headers are #included inside a....
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
If pyport.h is included inside a C++ program then those standard headers might enable various C++-specific extensions, which might fail inside an extern "C"
Specifically in MSVC 6 this leads to....
e:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\math.h(514) : error C2894: templates cannot be declared to have 'C' linkage
