Attached is the ported patch for Python 2.7/trunk. Please review it to make sure I didn't completely flub anything. I noticed you had forgotten the maxtasksperchild argument in the unit test, so I added that. I also expanded the docs a little but, paraphrasing your original post w.r.t to the justification.

Let me know what you think, or if you have issues. Once you give the go ahead, I will commit to trunk and then merge to Py3k. 

Once again, thanks for the patch
