[Pyrex] Arrays in structures

It seems to work fine if you write this:

cdef extern from "limits.h":
  enum:
    PATH_MAX

cdef extern from "test.h":
  struct __test:
    char name[PATH_MAX]

It is indeed. Using the "enum" construction makes Pyrex use is as-is.

That's because you were defining it as a variable. Using "enum" makes
it a constant. Pyrex doesn't know it's value, but doesn't need to
because the C compiler fills it in where necessary.
