[Python-Dev] Hundreds of warnings

[Guido van Rossum]

> Some recent patch to Python.h moved its include of pyport.h above its

Looks like Jason Tishler was a bit rash.  I specifically told him:

| Please use the patch manager to request review until we start telling
| you to check things in directly. :-)

when he asked about our commit rules.
