Just in case you haven't noticed, I just merged the ssizet branch (PEP 353).

If you have any corrections to the code to make which you would consider bug fixes, just go ahead. If you are uncertain how specific problems should be resolved, feel free to ask. If you think certain API changes should be made, please discuss them here - they would need to be reflected in the PEP as well.

What is PY_SSIZE_T_MAX supposed to be? The definition in pyport.h doesn't compile.

Shouldn't a lot of checks for INT_MAX be replaced with PY_SSIZE_T_MAX? Like in the slice indexing code?

Thanks for all your effort on ssize_t fixing. This is a big deal for 64-bit number crunching with Python.
