trailing 'L' is appended to the representation,
otherwise not.
All existing call sites are modified to pass true for
addL.
Remove incorrect statement about external use of this
function from elsewhere; it's static!
long_str(): Handler for the tp_str slot in the type object.
Identical to long_repr(), but passes false as the addL
parameter of long_format().
The MS compiler doesn't call it 'long long', it uses __int64,
so a new #define, LONG_LONG, has been added and all occurrences
of 'long long' are replaced with it.

Guido, the overflow checking in PyLong_AsLong is off a little:
1) If the C in use sign-extends right shifts on signed longs, there's a
spurious overflow error when converting the most-negative int:

>>> x = -1L << 31
>>> x
-2147483648L
>>> int(x)
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
OverflowError: long int too long to convert
>>>
2) If C does not sign-extend, some genuine overflows won't be caught.
The attached should repair both, and, because I installed a new disk and a C
compiler today, it's even been compiled this time <wink>.
