Does that matter?  I checked the patch in on the Python trunk, and
that's 2.5 to me ;-)  The change was in:

static void
CField_repr(CFieldObject *self)

and:

typedef struct {
        PyObject_HEAD
        Py_ssize_t offset;
        Py_ssize_t size;
        Py_ssize_t index;               /* Index into CDataObject's
                                           object array */
        PyObject *proto;                /* a type or NULL */
        GETFUNC getfunc;                /* getter function if proto is NULL */
        SETFUNC setfunc;                /* setter function if proto is NULL */
} CFieldObject;

has Py_ssize_t all over the place, and that's unique to 2.5 (so far) too, right?
