Hi Tim,

I've merged your patch into bzr head, though with some modifications, as 
"if array != 0:" will trigger "cannot determine the scalar value of an 
array" errors when array is a numpy array (it creates a boolean array of 
size of array then attempts to determine whether array is True/False and 
blows up).

With the modified code *any* integer/long passed in will be converted to 
a ctypes.c_void_p( value ).  I believe that should be fine for all 
normal use cases of the function.

HTH,
Mike
