Cray J90 fixes for long ints.
This was a convenient excuse to create the pyport.h file recently discussed! Please use new Py_ARITHMETIC_RIGHT_SHIFT when right-shifting a signed int and you *need* sign-extension. This is #define'd in pyport.h, keying off new config symbol SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS. If you're running on a platform that needs that symbol #define'd, the std tests never would have worked for you (in particular, at least test_long would have failed). The autoconfig stuff got added to Python after my Unix days, so I don't know how that works. Would someone please look into doing & testing an auto-config of the SIGNED_RIGHT_SHIFT_ZERO_FILLS symbol? It needs to be defined if & only if, e.g., (-1) >> 3 is not -1.
