Summary: PyObjC 2.2 currently needs python 2.6+ to run

Initial Comment:
In pyobjc-core/Modules/objc/objc-class.m at line 1547 (current trunk revision 2386) - there is a call to PyType_Modified, which seems to be added only in Python 2.6 (as per http://docs.python.org/c-api/type.html#PyType_Modified).

The result is that current version of PyObjC can't be used with anything less that Python 2.6 - it compiles with warning about implicit declaration of PyType_Modified and throws something like "ImportError: dlopen(_objc.so) ... Symbol not found: _PyType_Modified Referenced from _objc.so, Expected in: dynamic lookup".
