Checked this part in, thanks.

We should maybe try a couple of Linux translations with the 2.5-relevant
changes to see if they basically work there too, and apply them in this
case.

Amaury, the import from 'pypy.lib.struct' that your patch introduced in
an 'app_*' module looks suspicious...  I'm not sure why we are not
automatically picking up struct.py from pypy/lib/ from app-level code.


A bientot,
