[Pyrex] Different C translation depending on platform (Unix vs Win)

[Francesc Altet]

Hi,

With the latest version of our software, I'm experimenting something that is 
now to me: C sources generated with Pyrex on a Unix machine don't compile on 
a C compiler on Windows; but if the C sources files are generated with Pyrex 
on Windows (i.e. natively), they do.

The problem with compiling on Windows (using C sources generated on a Unix 
machine) is that the compiler (MSVC Toolkit 2003) complains about a 
__pyx_n_len variable that is undeclared. You can find the affected file in:

http://www.pytables.org/trac/browser/trunk/src/convtypetables.pxi

[the responsible line is 132, i.e.  'rank = len(pdims)' ]

I'm attaching a file with the diff file for the header declarations of the 
affected extensions (one generated with a Linux machine and the other with a  
Win32 machine).

I'm wondering why it is necessary that the code should be actually different 
at all. Somebody can throw some light here?

Thanks,
