Summary: Build md5.c fails on Cray T3E

Initial Comment:
Building Python 2.2.1 on Cray T3E, compilation of md5.c
and md5module.c fails because UINT4 is undefined. The 
T3E does have an unsigned, 4-byte integer data type
(namely short) but the following code in Modules/md5.h
fails to find it:

/* UINT4 defines a four byte word */
#if SIZEOF_LONG == 4
typedef unsigned long int UINT4;
#else
#if INT_MAX == 2147483647
typedef unsigned int UINT4;
#endif
/* Too bad if neither is; pyport.h would need to be
fixed. */
#endif

So I changed it to:

/* UINT4 defines a four byte word */
#if SIZEOF_LONG == 4
typedef unsigned long int UINT4;
#elif SIZEOF_SHORT == 4
typedef unsigned short int UINT4;
#elif INT_MAX == 2147483647
typedef unsigned int UINT4;
#endif
/* Too bad if neither is; pyport.h would need to be
fixed. */

Also, Modules/md5.h defines a UINT2. This is a worry
because T3E's don't have a 2-byte integer data type. It
turns out that this symbol is never used.

With modified Modules/md5.h (attached), the md5 module
compiles OK and passes tests.
