The C types corresponding to the 'array' type codes
seem to be documented incorrectly.

See:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-array.html

All C integer types are listed as 'int' or 'unsigned
int'.  I'm guessing from the sizes and the C standard
that these should be 'char', 'short', 'int', and 'long'.

This agrees with what the Python Essential reference
has to say (Beazley, p127)
