Document that Python 2.3 requires cdecimal module for full functionality.
This has been true for some time, but we were leaving users to discover it the hard way. Back-patch to 9.2. It might've been true before that, but we were claiming Python 2.2 compatibility before that, so I won't guess at the exact requirements back then.
