Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Tools/modulator/Templates
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv17711/Tools/modulator/Templates

Modified Files:
	object_head 
Log Message:
staticforward bites the dust.

The staticforward define was needed to support certain broken C
compilers (notably SCO ODT 3.0, perhaps early AIX as well) botched the
static keyword when it was used with a forward declaration of a static
initialized structure.  Standard C allows the forward declaration with
static, and we've decided to stop catering to broken C compilers.  (In
fact, we expect that the compilers are all fixed eight years later.)

I'm leaving staticforward and statichere defined in object.h as
static.  This is only for backwards compatibility with C extensions
that might still use it.

XXX I haven't updated the documentation.
