py_cpp & Python 2.0

I have been able to compile and test py_cpp_20001106 with Python 2.0:

# Compaq C++ V6.2-024 for Digital UNIX V5.0 (Rev. 910)
#
# Alternatives:
#   a. Python 1.5.2 was installed without any customizations.
#   b. Python 2.0 was installed with a few simple customizations:
#          ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/Python-2.0
#           Edit config.h: insert #ifndef __cplusplus, #endif
#                          around #define inline __inline
#           make; make install
# boost_all.zip vers. 1.18.2 was unpacked using unzip -aa.
#       cast.hpp was replaced by version "19 Oct 00".
# STLport-4.1b3 was unpacked using unzip -aa and not modified.

The py_cpp source code does not need to be changed. However, because 
some Python error messages have changed, test_extclass.py needs to be 
updated. A patch is attached.

Note that the problem with the inline define is an unresolved Python 
bug:
