Subject: Full LONG_MAX & co. patch over 5.003_05

This patch contains the changes I've collected for the various _MAX issues
since 5.003_05. No patches issued between 5.003_05 and this one should be
applied, use this one instead.

The effect is to remove the CHAR_* and I8_* constants (which are
ambiguous) and to explicitly cast all of the constants.

Subject: Re: pre extending hash? - need speed

The patch below (which is relative to perl5.001l) implements
"keys %hash = 50_000;" (or other integer-evaluable sizes) for
pre-sizing hashes.  I've only moved the patch forward from
when I first did it.  I'm sure the code in hv_ksplit could be
improved.

Revert from Perl_malloc to Mymalloc for binary compatibility with
5.003.
