Summary: Py_INCREF/DECREF available as macros only

Initial Comment:
I have an application where I locate a python shared library, link to 
it, and bind a few symbols at runtime in order to run some Python 
code.  I need to be able to use Py_INCREF and Py_DECREF from 
this code (to show nice output if there is an exception), but since it 
is done dynamically my code has no idea what the definitions of 
those macros were.  This is especially bad because they are 
different for a debugging build.

I would like Py_INCREF and Py_DECREF to be available as exported 
functions *somewhere* in the Python shared library.

Where do those go?  Does it *need* to be well documented right away?  
It's not useful very often ;)

Here's a patch.. Py_IncRef and Py_DecRef for Py_XINCREF and 
Py_XDECREF respectively.
