Fix compilation error with gcc 4.3.2

 *
 *  This module serves to replace the original parser module written
 *  by Guido.  The functionality is not matched precisely, but the
 *  original may be implemented on top of this.  This is desirable
 *  since the source of the text to be parsed is now divorced from
 *  this interface.
 *
 *  Unlike the prior interface, the ability to give a parse tree
 *  produced by Python code as a tuple to the compiler is enabled by
 *  this module.  See the documentation for more details.
 *
 *  I've added some annotations that help with the lint code-checking
 *  program, but they're not complete by a long shot.  The real errors
 *  that lint detects are gone, but there are still warnings with
 *  Py_[X]DECREF() and Py_[X]INCREF() macros.  The lint annotations
 *  look like "NOTE(...)".
