the patch

Like the summary says.  Following up on the advice in this page:

http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility

Makes python bindings smaller and faster to load.

Tested on Ubuntu 8.10 and darwin-ppc regression host.

I think I need the release manager's approval to commit this, right?  I think it should be safe to apply.

Patch attached.
