Yes, this has been a long time coming. Collaboration by
e-mail with people working on completely different projects
can be quite a challenge! Thanks for getting this checked
in. When 2.4a1 comes out I will be providing a new version
of cx_Oracle that takes advantage of these functions.

I just noticed that I missed the macros that are defined in
datetime.h that were not modified with my patch --
specifically those used to acquire the components of the
date/time objects. Should those be documented as well? I'm
assuming the answer is yes -- so would it be helpful if I
did so and attached a patch to this set of patches or do I
need to create a new patch?
