Done. UCHAR_MAX is now required in Python.h, and it's required to be 255. That may open up a couple (small) optimization opportunities (places where gcc 3.3 says explicit tests against char values will always be true or false). I'll leave it for others to make those tweaks if they so desire. Note that some of those gcc messages are probably related to larger types (e.g. unsigned short) or depend on the presence or absence of other macro definitions (e.g. Py_UNICODE_WIDE). Should you wish to code any of these speedups, make sure you get the cpp tests right. Guido won't forgive you if you don't.
