I moved the unicode_eq to stringlib/eq.h to keep the function static and possible inline for setobject.c and dictobject.h. I also removed the unused _PyString_Eq method. If it's required in the future it can be added to eq.h

"def f(*, **kw)" now raises a SyntaxError.

It prevents the XML RPC tests from blocking until the end of the world.

  Several Windows related cleanups:
  * Removed a #define from pyconfig.h. The macro was already defined a few lines higher.
  * Fixed path to tix in the build_tkinter.py script
  * Changed make_buildinfo.c to use versions of unlink and strcat which are considered safe by Windows (as suggested by MvL).
  * Removed two defines from pyproject.vsprops that are no longer required. Both are defined in pyconfig.h and make_buildinfo.c doesn't use the unsafe versions any more (as suggested by MvL).
  * Added some more information about PGO and the property files to PCbuild9/readme.txt.

(a) added GC support to the PySSL object
(b) move the call to _real_close() from __del__ methods in Python to
PySSL_dealloc().
(c) remove those __del__ methods -- this makes SSL and socket objects GC'able.

Silence more warnings, _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE is already defined in pyconfig.h but several projects don't include it.

(Next: update the whatsnew docs.)

  The macros _WIN32, _WIN64 and _M_X64 are defined by the compiler. The VS 2008 IDE doesn't know about (some) of the macros and can display wrong information. In my case a section #ifdef _WIN64 was grayed out although the platform was x64. I've added the macros to pyproject.vsprops and x64.vsprops.
  I've also added a paragraph about the property files to the readme and fixed the order of pyupdate > pyinstrument.

  This "fixes" compilation issues for the Carbon._OSA module on OSX Leopard
  by purging bindings to OSA's debug API's. Those APIs we're completely
  unsupported on OSX 10.4 and are no longer available on OSX 10.5.

  Note that this patches a generated file. This is somewhat acceptable because
  regenerating the file is non-trivial and wouldn't use system headers anyway.
