[issue4880] PyInt_FromSsize_t LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX typecasts needed

Interesting.  How many of those casts are actually necessary to make 
things work?  Have you figured out more precisely why this is failing?
E.g., is it somehow that LONG_MIN ends up being an unsigned constant?

It seems to me that a better fix would be to fix LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX 
somewhere in the configuration files;  there are bound to be more uses of 
LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX in the source that are going to cause problems.

P.S.  Looking at your python-dev messages, does len([1, 2]) really return 
1L?  Not 2L?
