This patch allows to use custom objects as parameters
in foreign function calls.  The patch is very simple
(actually it is more like a simple bug fix).  Tests and
documentation included.

The patch is against the SF CVS ctypes repository,
because it is simple to read imo.

I'm requesting permission to apply this patch to Python
current SVN before the next beta release.

Is i a Py_ssize_t?  If so the format string should use %zd.

This patch is acceptable for 2.5.  Please update Misc/NEWS
when you checkin.  Also, please try to get this in ASAP so
we get as much testing as possible.

No, i is an int.  As it counts items (the number of args
passed to a function call) maybe unsigned would be better
but its not worth to change it.

Thanks.
