Message 62705 - Python tracker

It fails if the function being called has parameters which are not
sizeof(long), and the platform has a calling convention where such
parameters are passed on the stack, and consume a size different from
sizeof(long) on the stack.

I disagree that it won't run on 90% of the hardware sold today - you
just have to operate that hardware properly to make it work. In any
case, removal of the dl module in favor of ctypes seems reasonable.
