Summary: No struct.pack exception for some out of range integers
Initial Comment:
struct.pack("B", -1) generates an OverflowError
exception since the B format corresponds to the
"unsigned char" type which can have values between 0
and 255.
But struct.pack("I", -1) and struct.pack("L", -1) do
not generate these errors, even if struct.pack("I",
-1L) and struct.pack("L", -1L) do (notice the final L).

Attaching patch, raises struct.error. Neal, please look over it.
Note that I find struct's error handling confusing: it's not
clear from the docs in which cases OverflowError is raised,
and in which struct.error.
