Well after patching pyport.h for the sys/select problem, I had
errors because of missing u_int and u_long data types.
Patch configure.in, pyconfig.h.in, pyport.h.
Now u_char, and u_short.
Patch configure.in, pyconfig.h.in, pyport.h. some more.
Now missing defines of NI_MAXHOST, NI_NUMERICHOST, & NI_MAXSERV.
At that point I said to myself "This is nuts, 2.2.2 worked fine".

So I backed out all my other patches and added this one.

Builds fine now.
