I think it's a tad more problematic.  As other modules, both in and
out of the standard library, move to use ctypes, it implies that
*Python* isn't supported on those combinations.  Personally, that's
fine with me (as long as there's a workaround for Solaris!), but I
think that Ulrich is right in saying this should be more prominent.
