Someone please read the comment in PC/pyconfig.h:

/* Atleast VC 7.1 has them. If some compiler does not provide them,
    #ifdef appropriately .*/
#define HAVE_UINTPTR_T 1
#define HAVE_INTPTR_T 1

I did not bother checking whether VC6 has uintptr_t - that does not
mean that somebody else couldn't.

Hacking a couple of lines is probably the wrong approach. Properly
maintaining the VC6 port (i.e. sharing the well-designed changes
to a couple of lines) would be a good idea.
