Anton, you're cool,

actually renaming Ellipsis to Py_Ast_Ellipsis in ast.c and Python-ast.c
seems to fix this.
What I don't understand, isn't it very likely that such things will
happen when names like "Ellipsis" or "Slice" and "Index" (which I also
found in Python-ast.c) are being used, or are the treectrl people doing
something they should avoid?
I think the answer to this might be important when deciding to whom I
should send a bug report :)

Thanks and best regards
