removal patch for ceval.c

Ok, got it to compile, and tried out a simple generator;
seems to be fine..

Probably should have asked first, but I'm assuming(yay) that
it was desired to draw it inline with *object.[ch]
organization protocol..

Only gotcha appears to be that genobject.c, of course,
references eval_frame, so I just wrapped a call to it in
eval.c with a non-static function(PyEval_EvaluateFrame()),
this is probably not be what python-dev would like.. I
mostly did it like this to get it to compile.(probably a bad
idea, and should probably reference it directly. no need for
an extra layer of function call overhead...)

What is the purpose of this patch?

Externalize the generator type so that it can be easily
accessed/referenced by extension mod authors and embedders..

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2004-May/044742.html

I would use it, as an embedder, in my postgresql extension:
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/postgrespy/projdisplay.php

Currently, I compile a little generator and snag the
type(this is the same thing as from types import
GeneratorType, I suppose), and will do so if I don't have
direct access. I also access parts of the generator,
currently using getattr, but if I had access to it, I would
do it directly.
