[issue7753] newgil backport

[Ross Cohen]

Thanks Neil for fixing up the patch.

As for Marc-Andre's comments, I'm happy to backport any further
changes which happen on the py3k branch. I'd like to keep this as a
strict backport, only changing things as necessary to get it to work
with the older codebase.

Ross
