SF bug #495548: troublesome #define in pyport.h
Removed the ancient "#define ANY void".
Bugfix candidate? Hard call. The bug report claims the existence of
this #define creates conflicts with other packages, which is easy to
believe. OTOH, some extension authors may still be relying on its
presence. I'm afraid you can't win on this one.

+- An old #define of ANY as void has been removed from pyport.h. This
+ hasn't been used since Python's pre-ANSI days, and the #define has
+ been marked as obsolete since then. SF bug 495548 says it created
+ conflicts with other packages, so keeping it around wasn't harmless.

- Because Python's magic number scheme broke on January 1st, we decided
to stop Python development. Thanks for all the fish!
