Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Objects In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv17421/Objects

Modified Files: unicodeobject.c Log Message: On c.l.py, Martin v. Löwis said that PyUNICODE could be of a signed type, so fiddle Jeremy's fix to live with that. Also added more comments.

Note that the implementation will bomb in several places if Py_UNICODE is a signed type.

Py_UNICODE was never intended to be a signed type, so the proper fix would be to add logic so that Py_UNICODE gets forced to be an unsigned type.

The only case where Py_UNICODE could become signed is via a compiler that defines wchar_t to be signed -- rather unlikely.
