Hi, Simon

I updated all files locally and will commit the changes later today. 
Yes, I used it globally, because that is the way the old (current in
Blender 2.27) implementation did.  At least in Linux it compiles fine,
and it'd be surprising if some system complains, because though a little
awkward, the indirect way still looks like proper C.  I had changed to
PyObject_HEAD_INIT(&PyType_Type), because I saw that in Python's own
source code (so maybe there's some other way around or they simply don't
use VC / cygwin to compile Python binaries ???).  Anyway, going back to
the way you advice is probably enough.

Thanks for catching this one : ).
