I did a fresh install of Python-2.2a2 and applied your new 
patch, but I'm still getting compile errors for line 200:

Here are lines 198-203 after applying the patch

#if Py_UNICODE_SIZE == 2
				if (length == 2) {
					ucs4_t u4in
[2] = {(ucs4_t)IN1, (ucs4_t)IN2};
					encoded = 
dsg->encoder(u4in, &length);
				} else
					encoded = 
dsg->encoder(&c, &length);

One of my collegues says that you can't initialise one variable 
with another variable, when using the cc compiler.
