No, C doesn't have them, because the logical operators always return 1 or 0,
*not* one of their operands, as 'and' and 'or' do in Python. Adding '&&='
('and=' ?) and '||=' would be plain silly, because the logical operators do
*not* modify anything.

For what it's worth, I did try your patch :) It worked fine, but i haven't
had the time to test it thoroughly yet.
