Py3 support for gmpy 1.16 C API

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to import the gmpy 1.16 API in Python 3 using gmpy.h and import_gmpy().
2. Receive compiler error:

src/wrapper/wrap_isl.cpp:34:3: error: ‘PyCObject_Check’ was not declared in 
this scope
src/wrapper/wrap_isl.cpp:34:3: error: ‘PyCObject_AsVoidPtr’ was not 
declared in this scope

3. Not surprising: CObjects were removed in Py3. Suggestion: switch to capsules 
for Py3.

I'll work on a 1.17 release with capsule support.

To the best of my knowledge, you're the only user of the C API (or at least, 
the only one using Python 3).

Can I ask how you are using it? 

Would it be beneficial to have access to a larger set of the internal 
functions? (I'm thinking of exposing a very complete API for gmpy2 2.1.x.)

 Sure:

 http://documen.tician.de/islpy/

 which is a foundation for

 https://pypi.python.org/pypi/loo.py

 (which is still in "stealth mode")

 FWIW, the current set is adequate for me.

 Thanks!

Can you test /svn/tags/gmpy_maint/ from the repository?

I've released GMPY 1.17. It should resolve the issue.
