---------------------------------------------------+------------------------
 I once more got my hands into my patch for adding support of various
 calling conventions to boost.python.

 I tried to include the comments that were made a long time ago, and took
 an approach close to the one used in boost.bind : the defaut is to not
 support any additional calling conventions. Preprocessor defines allow to
 enable them :
 BOOST_PYTHON_ENABLE_CDECL, BOOST_PYTHON_ENABLE_STDCALL,
 BOOST_PYTHON_ENABLE_FASTCALL.

 I added entries to documentation, and simple unit tests inspired by
 boost.bind once again.

 The new tests should probably not be run on compilers where the calling
 conventions are irrelevant, but this exceeds both my bjam and compiler
 specifics knowledge.

 The patch attached is made against the current trunk (rev.58712), on my
 MSCV8 SP1 every boost.python test passes.

 What more work should be done to get it accepted into trunk / 1.42 release
 ?
