[issue2240] setitimer, getitimer wrapper

[Ralf Schmitt]

Ralf Schmitt <schmir at gmail.com> added the comment:

Okay, the patch applies just fine (besides configure, which must be
regenerated). Running the tests however consumes 3 gb of memory.
The range functions must be changed to xrange on trunk. I've also
changed the docs a bit ("new in 2.6").
I didn't change anything related to coding standards (is this an issue
with tabs vs spaces?).
all tests in test_signal work with a patched revision 61332 of trunk, on
a 64 bit linux.
