OSF was deprecated in Python 3.2, following the PEP11.

Now we must delete the support completelly for python 3.3.

Well, all of the following systems/configurations should have their support removed in 3.3:

    Name:             Systems using Mach C Threads
    Name:             SunOS lightweight processes (LWP)
    Name:             Systems using --with-pth (GNU pth threads)
    Name:             Systems using Irix threads
    Name:             OSF* systems (issue 8606)

Uhm... cleaning this code I have a lot of references in ctypes libraries, especifically in the FFI section.

I have the feeling that we are importing this code from upstream, so I better don't touch this ctypes/FFI.

Am I right?.

ctypes can be touched, but libffi shouldn't indeed.
(well... I believe our current copy of libffi may have changes applied,
but I don't know how/where they are maintained)

Committed as r15b090c9442a.

The other deprecated supports should be covered in other issues. I will check myself them in a while.
