Force zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 to return a signed integer on all platforms
regardless of the native sizeof(long) used in the integer object. This somewhat odd behavior of returning a signed is maintained in 2.x for compatibility reasons of always returning an integer rather than a long object. Fixes Issue1202 for Python 2.6

+- Issue #1202: zlib.crc32 and zlib.adler32 no longer return different values
+ on 32-bit vs. 64-bit python interpreters. Both were correct, but they now
+ both return a signed integer object for consistency.

- Issue #1158: add %f format (fractions of a second represented as
microseconds) to datetime objects. Understood by both strptime and
strftime.
