Then we ought to backpatch that to 8.2.

It's a crash fix for 64bit python 2.5.

The CVS log message for that says "Allow PL/PythonU to compile on Python 
2.5.", but that is evidently not true.  Is this just a warning cleanup, 
or is there perhaps a 32 vs 64 bit issue that is being fixed there?

Not being a Python user, I don't really care.  I notice though that the
second of the above-mentioned patches is only in HEAD, which is why
those same machines are giving scary-looking warnings in the 8.2 branch,
eg wasp on 8.2:

ccache gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline 
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -g -fpic -I.

-I/usr/include/et  -c -o plpython.o plpython.c

plpython.c:2000: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
plpython.c:2001: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
plpython.c:2002: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

Seems we should at least back-patch Marko's fixes into 8.2.

I find these patches a bit excessive for backporting, especially 10 
minor releases into the branch.

Those who need Python 2.5 can use PostgreSQL 8.2.  I consider that to be 
a new feature.  The fact that the buildfarm exercises other 
combinations isn't evidence of a practical need.
