[pycrypto] Once again: Python3 with PyCrypto

[Thorsten Behrens]

This is most vexing.

Using VC++ 2008, I can build, but not test - wrong version of VC++ for 
Python 2.1.

Using gcc in cygwin, I cannot build - issue with LONG_BIT definition. 
Although it's a 32-bit gcc, LONG_BIT is defined as 64, and that makes 
python21 most unhappy.

Suggestions welcome. Push comes to shove, if you have a working build 
environment for 2.1, maybe you can test changes. Or if you can suggest a 
Linux distribution that has a working 2.1 tool-chain, I could run that 
in a VM and test from there.
