There are also diffs in cStringIO.c, though not ones that affect
functionality: ANSI-fication, and a few changes to the Python API
(PyObject_Length -> PyObject_Size, PyObject_NEW -> PyObject_New, &c).

The cPickle.c changes look to be:
    * ANSIfication.
    * API changes.
    * Support for Unicode strings.

The API changes are the most annoying ones, since you need to add
#ifdefs in order for the module to compile with both 1.5.2 and 2.0.
(Might be worth seeing if this can be alleviated with a few strategic
macros, though I think not...)
