Well done! Would you like to derive a Python patch from that?
Don't worry about MSVC, yet, I will do that once the sources
are in the subversion.

(Of course, for due process, it would be better if this code gets
integrated into the official ctypes first, and then we incorporate
some named/versioned snapshot into /external, and svn cp it into
python/trunk from there).
