Tim Peters fbb556df15 Arrange to export the _PyMalloc_{Malloc, Realloc, Free} entry points. On
Windows some modules are considered (by me, and I don't care what anyone
else thinks about this <wink>) to be part of "the core" despite that they
happen to be compiled into separate DLLs (the "to DLL or not to DLL?"
question on Windows is nearly arbitrary).  Making the pymalloc entry
points available to them allows the Windows build to complete without
incident when WITH_PYMALLOC is #define'd.

Note that this isn't unprecedented.  Other "private API" functions we
export include _PySequence_IterSearch, _PyEval_SliceIndex, _PyCodec_Lookup,
_Py_ZeroStruct, _Py_TrueStruct, _PyLong_New and _PyModule_Clear.

/* BEWARE:
Each interface exports both functions and macros. Extension modules
should normally use the functions for ensuring binary compatibility
of the user's code across Python versions. Subsequently, if the
Python runtime switches to its own malloc (different from standard
malloc), no recompilation is required for the extensions.
The macro versions trade compatibility for speed. They can be used
whenever there is a performance problem, but their use implies
recompilation of the code for each new Python release. The Python
core uses the macros because it *is* compiled on every upgrade.
This might not be the case with 3rd party extensions in a custom
setup (for example, a customer does not always have access to the
source of 3rd party deliverables). You have been warned! */
