Python 2.1.1 ... stupid error in import.c

[Armin Steinhoff]

In article <9m609h02ca2 at drn.newsguy.com>, Armin says...

To make it clear ... after some repair actions regarding the directory structure
of the source and binary installation, Python 2.1.1 compiles flawless and I have
now a working version 2.1.1 with thread and shared object support for QNX6.
Great!

Good work so far !!!
