I'm with Fredrik. Have a single DEL function. If a non-conformant platform
is being used, then ./configure can easily detect it and insert a
workaround.

And don't argue about a memory test introduced by ./configure. Realize
that ANSI's free() has a memory test inside it, too. Somebody, somewhere,
has to check for that NULL pointer possibility. configure will just
determine whether free() does it, or Python does it.

Cheers,
