Summary: compile under OS/2 VA C++

Initial Comment:
This is the minimal set of changes I found necessary to
get the latest Python CVS image built under OS/2 Visual
Age C++.

I'm pretty sure that some of these changes will
conflict with changes submitted by Andrew MacIntyre for
OS/2 EMX.  If his changes are checked in before mine,
I'd be happy to resolve the conflicts and resubmit this
patch.

The patch looks fine to me. A few comments:
- Why did you drop Tkinter support?
- The symbol list in python.def is way too short. 
Essentially, every function that has a DL_IMPORT in 
Include/* must be listed in the .def file (or, if not - 
why is the .def file necessary in the first place?)
For example, all the Unicode functions are missing.

1) "#ifdef __BEOS__" vs. "#if defined(__BEOS_)"

  This is not necessary.  I was under the mistaken impression that #ifdef ... #elif caused problems
under VAC++.

3) positive case first

  I agree.

I have posted another patch which addresses these issues.

1) in Modules/socketmodule.c, is changing "#ifdef __BEOS__" to "#if defined(__BEOS__)" absolutely necessary?
While I would also do this, others view such apparently cosmetic changes with suspicion.
2) the changes to the files in PC/os2vacpp look OK.
3) in Python/bltinmodule.c,  I would have suggested using

#if <OS/2 defs>
  <OS/2 specific code>
#else
  <generic code>
#endif

rather than

#if !<OS/2 defs>
  <generic code>
#else
  <OS/2 specific code>
#endif

Negated #ifdefs seem to be considerably in the minority in the Python source tree AFAICS.

4) change to Python/importdl.h is OK as its in an #ifdef OS2

The changes noted in 2) & 4) look good to go.  Feedback from anyone else about the stylistics noted in 1) & 3)?
