It's actually a macro in shamodule.  Missing is _winreg.c (in the PC
directory).  The perils of duplication manifest in subtle differences among
these guys (like _winreg's inserts a long while the others insert an int --
and _winreg is certainly more correct here because a Python int *is* a C
long; and they differ in treatment of errors, and it's not at all clear
that's intentional).

+1, provided the treatment of errors is clearly documented.
