Bug: Basemap toolkit not 64-bit aware

Sorry if this is the wrong location for basemap toolkit bug reports. Please redirect me if that is the case.

Anyhow, I notice that in pyproj.pyx, the python function

PyAPI_FUNC(int) PyObject_AsWriteBuffer(PyObject *obj,
             void **buffer,
             Py_ssize_t *buffer_len);

is incorrectly referenced as
int PyObject_AsWriteBuffer(object, void **rbuf, int *len)

and chokes on 64-bit compiles. My workaround was to more-or-less switch from "int" to "long", but I'm sure there is a better solution.

The key thing here is not the first int, but the second. The declaration of len changed from int to Py_ssize_t in python 2.5. I've fixed this in SVN (revision 2823), could you grab an updated pyproj.c and see if that fixes it?
