Only Marc Poinot can test on the J90 now.  I tested the logic of the patch
by switching the sense of the #ifdef in pyport.h, and it works fine on my
box (the point to the #ifdef is to avoid the slow code on platforms that
don't *need* the slow code).  Don't worry about this -- and we already know
for sure that signed right shifts do zero-fill on Marc's platform (perfectly
acceptable according to the C std!).

This helps, but my original request still stands:  would somone who can *do*
(all of) this please follow up on it?  I'm running a Windows laptop in a
hotel room -- I can't run Unix-specific config stuff (like autoheader or
automake) at all.  By "test" I didn't mean test the patch, but get the rest
of the Unix config cruft built and test (just) whether the Unix config stuff
works.
