So am I. Maybe we could work together on this? I have built the complete
1.5.2 and 1.6 earlier and I'm now working on adapting those changes to
2.0. It builds, except for some modules that require extra libraries
(_tkinter, pyexpat etc). Then I get some nasty problems running
regrtest. Has anyone ever used _alloca()? I think it may be broken.

I have been messing with largeint.h for a long time, and got it nearly
working several times, but ultimately I decided that it was easier to
rewrite the one function that uses it (os.clock()) using LONGLONG
arithmetic directly. I think getting largeint.h to work would require
rewriting most of it.
