It raises ImportError when ctypes.util is tried to be imported.

>>> import ctypes.util
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named util

In #2148 I propose removing incomplete ctypes support in favor of CFFI

We plan to finally resolve by using JyNI, see #2148 - this moves this dependency out of Jython core however

Closing out in favor of using JyNI for its support of C ext API and ctypes. No way are we going to touch ctypes at this point in Jython core - it's just too much work.
