Michael Chermside's thinking about patch #748126 (the chief upshot of
which thinking was "reject it!").

Specifically, time.strftime() no longer accepts a 0 in the yday position of a
time tuple, since that can crash some platform strftime() implementations.

parsedate_tz(): Change the return value to return 1 in the yday position.

Update tests in test_rfc822.py and test_email.py

Hack httplib to work with broken Akamai proxies.
Make sure that httplib doesn't add extract Accept-Encoding or
Content-Length headers if the client has already set them.

I haven't tried to include all the material on old-style classes using protocols 0,1.  The details are lengthy; someone who knows
more about the pickle module should decide if they're important enough
to be in the docs or not.

\r\n only get the \n stripped, not the \r (unless it's the last header which
does get the \r stripped).  Patch by Tony Meyer.

test_whitespace_continuation_last_header(),
test_strip_line_feed_and_carriage_return_in_headers(): New tests.

_parse_headers(): Be sure to strip \r\n from the right side of header lines.

[ 1005123 ] test_curses fails on MacOS X 10.3

Be a bit more guarded about what we expect a terminal to be capable
of.

[ 1005008 ] curses.wrapper should also forward keyword args

Plus my rewrite to use finally as opposed to painfully doing the
equivalent by hand.

This got fixed "by magic" as part of the refactoring, but wasn't tested
as such.  Now it is.

* Protect the pre-defined contexts by using a deepcopy() instead of copy().
* Micro-optimization:  prefer x&1 over x%2

This primarily adds more powerful ways to work with unittest, including
spiffy support for building suites out of doctests in non-Python
"text files".

Will backport.

testConnectTimeout() to pass even when one has a really fast Net connection
that allows connections faster than .001 seconds.

in a -O run, and so test_doctest was failing under -O.  Simple cause,
simple cure.

the tim-doctest-merge-24a2 tag on the the tim-doctest-branch branch.
We did development on the branch in case it wouldn't land in time for
2.4a2, but the branch looked good:  Edward's tests passed there, ditto
Python's tests, and ditto the Zope3 tests.  Together, those hit doctest
heavily.
