[Pyrex] Python 2.4 & Pyrex Compatibility Update

[Charles Moad]

	Most all of the linux distro's are pushing a 0.9.3-1 release that have this 
patch.  I personally think this problem justifies a 0.9.3.1 (or whatever) 
release on the pyrex page since it has been asked about so many times on the 
mailing list.
