ahgamut 98f330b764 Added build config to get python.com
Modules/Setup and Modules/Setup.local contain the build recipes for
various extensions, wrote a custom script to translate them for
python.mk. Modules/config.c needs to be changed if any extensions are
removed or added.

Most of the source modifications are for missing headers or compile time
build vars like ABIFLAGS.

Created separate mk files for the C extensions and the Python stdlib.
Can use find for adding the python files to the APE ZIP store, but right
now necessary files are just hardcoded.

python.com loads but some build configs are still missing (showing 1 Jan
1970 as time of compilation).

About
=====

_decimal.c is a wrapper for the libmpdec library. libmpdec is a fast C
library for correctly-rounded arbitrary precision decimal floating point
arithmetic. It is a complete implementation of Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's
General Decimal Arithmetic Specification.


Build process for the module
============================

As usual, the build process for _decimal.so is driven by setup.py in the top
level directory. setup.py autodetects the following build configurations:

   1) x64         - 64-bit Python, x86_64 processor (AMD, Intel)

   2) uint128     - 64-bit Python, compiler provides __uint128_t (gcc)

   3) ansi64      - 64-bit Python, ANSI C

   4) ppro        - 32-bit Python, x86 CPU, PentiumPro or later

   5) ansi32      - 32-bit Python, ANSI C

   6) ansi-legacy - 32-bit Python, compiler without uint64_t

   7) universal   - Mac OS only (multi-arch)


It is possible to override autodetection by exporting:

   PYTHON_DECIMAL_WITH_MACHINE=value, where value is one of the above options.


NOTE
====

decimal.so is not built from a static libmpdec.a since doing so led to
failures on AIX (user report) and Windows (mixing static and dynamic CRTs
causes locale problems and more).
