I don't believe that this sequence will restore the contents of the 
_POSIX_C_SOURCE macro to what it was before.  For that matter, it's
not even quite right about ensuring that the macro's defined-ness
status is restored (what if the python headers set _POSIX_C_SOURCE
when it wasn't set before?).  We might not need more than defined-ness
to be right, though.

What in the world are the python headers doing fooling with these
macros, anyway??
