[PATCH 0 of 6] Python replacements for C extensions

Hello,

Brendan recently sent a pure Python version of base85.c -- here are
Python versions of the other C extensions. Most are based on the
previous Python code, but some are new.

I am able to run all tests but one: test-bdiff gives slightly
different output. This is not very surpricing since I replaced a ton
of C code in bdiff.blocks with just 4 lines of Python code and did so
more on intuition than on understanding the C code...

The error is below, I hope that someone more familiar with the C code
can tweak the Python code as needed. There doesn't seem to be any
previous Python code for this.


I have not done anything special for integrating this into the
Makefile. The final patch simply disables the extensions in setup.py
file for easy testing, but that is all :-)


The test-bdiff error:

cd tests && python run-tests.py  test-bdiff
