    According to PEP-11, We have to remove OS/2 support for 3.4.

    I first proposed to drop OS/2 support in 2010. Andrew MacIntyre ported Python 2 to OS/2, he answered me:
    "The 3.x branch needs quite a bit of work on OS/2 to
    deal with Unicode, as OS/2 was one of the earlier OSes with full
    multiple language support and IBM developed a unique API. I'm still
    struggling to come to terms with this, partly because I myself don't
    "need" it."

    Most of the OS/2 specific code in the C part: search PYOS_OS2.

    Victor, I am removing the support step by step, because I am monitoring the buildbots. Thanks for taking an eye on this.

    I am leaving alone "distutils", "zlib" and "libffi", because I think they are external projects. is that OK?.
