It seems that staticforward is incorrectly defined in the
Python 2.3 version of Python.h. This isn't really Pyrex's
fault, but I may include some sort of workaround for it
in the next release.

Pyrex really ought to be using LONG_LONG, which Python.h
defines appropriately for the platform. This is on my list
too.
