[PATCH] add offset argument to mmap

[Christopher Li]

I am surprised to find out the mmap module in python always
mmap from offset 0. So I just hack up some patch to allow it
accept offset arguments.

So here it is.

Chris


Add optional offset argument to mmap module.

Test on linux with Python 2.4.
The windows code is totally untested.
