DEF X = -1 raises TypeError in ExprNodes.py

[Joost Cassee]

The fix for bug #220108 introduces a problem when defining a negative integer:

DEX X = -1

...
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Cython-0.9.6.14-py2.5.egg/Cython/Compiler/Parsing.py", line 1267, in p_DEF_statement
    value = expr.compile_time_value(denv)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Cython-0.9.6.14-py2.5.egg/Cython/Compiler/ExprNodes.py", line 674, in compile_time_value
    return int(self.value, 0)
TypeError: int() can't convert non-string with explicit base

Cython version 0.9.6.13 worked fine.

This was actually due to a different bug that showed only after fixing bug #220108.

Thanks!
