Need pointer to cxx_extensions

I have been given the source code for a DLL that was an extension for Python
1.5.2.  My job is to recompile it for Python 2.2.

Included in the source is a file cxx_extensions.cxx that is expecting the
older version of Python's object.h. It no longer compiles because the Python
_typeobject structure has changed. But there is no indication inside the
file of what it does or where it comes from, other than a copyright notice
for the University of California. Whatever accompanying documentation there
once was with it is not in the zipfile I have.

Do you recognize this filename? Where should I look for a newer version? And
what does it do? Reading the code tells me nothing, beyond the fact that the
person who wrote it has a much deeper understanding of C++ and extending
Python than I have.
