supplemental l2h initialization file it creates and still get all the
right behavior.  In particular, it can change the image type and icon
location and not get inconsistent results.

Some code to help suppress various navigational pages; this might be
interesting when generating HTML to create HTML Help documents, since
the navigation support creates confusing hits in the full text
search.  HTML Help also provides a lot of the navigational
infrastructure, so duplicating it makes it more tedious to use.

It's possible to get a sunaudiodev.error (errno == EINVAL), although
I'm not exactly sure why, this at least won't crash the application.

  'alias_options' table and getting rid of some hairy code in the
  Distribution constructor.
Resurrected the distribution options that describe the modules present
  in the module distribution ('py_modules', 'ext_modules'), and added
  a bunch more: 'packages', 'package_dir', 'ext_package', 'include_dirs',
  'install_path'.
Updated some comments.
Added 'warn()' method to Command.
'Command.get_command_name()' now stores generated command name in
  self.command_name.

Added global cache PATH_CREATED used by 'mkpath()' to ensure it doesn't
  try to create the same path more than once in a session (and, more
  importantly, to ensure that it doesn't print "creating X" more than
  once for each X per session!).

  distributions their own directory (and .pth file).
Overhauled how we determine installation directories in
  'set_final_options()' to separate platform-dependence and take
  'install_path' option into account.
Added 'create_path_file()' to create path config file when 'install_path'
  given.
Only run 'install_py' and 'install_ext' when, respectively, there are
  some pure Python modules and some extension modules in the distribution.

  - rename 'dir' to 'build_dir'
  - take 'package' from distribution option 'ext_package'
  - take 'extensions' from distribution option 'ext_modules'
  - take 'include_dirs' from distribution
Name keyword args explictly when calling CCompiler methods.
Overhauled how we generate extension filenames (in 'extension_filename()
  and 'build_extension()') to take 'package' option into account.

Fix a couple of comments.

(Should have been here instead of in the branch in the first place,
since these weren't in for the 1.5.2 release.)

For a long time I've seen absurd tracebacks under -O (e.g., negative
line numbers), but very rarely.  Since I was looking at tracebacks
anyway, thought I'd track it down.  Turns out to be Guido's only
predictable blind spot <wink -- "char" is signed on some non-GvR
systems>.  Patch follows.

It breaks Mailman, it was actually documented in the docstring, so it
was an intentional deviation from the usual del semantics.  Let's
document the original behavior in Doc/lib/librfc822.tex.

the right variant of gethostbyname_r for us, since not all Linuxes are
equal in this respect.  Reported by Laurent Pointal.

(2) On BeOS, Chris Herborth reports that instead of arpa/inet.h you
must include net/netdb.h to get the inet_ntoa() and inet_addr()
prototypes.

Default platform-specific build directory changed to 'build/platlib'.

it doesn't recognize a lone dash as a non-flag argument.
Now it does.

Changed those two methods to only compile/link if necessary (according
  to simplistic timestamp checks).
Added 'output_dir' to 'object_filenames()' and 'shared_object_filename()'.

Terminology change in 'newer()'.
Made 'copy_tree' respect dry_run flag a little better.
Added 'move_file()'.

Some comments added.
Added 'announce()' and 'move_file()' methods.

Error message tweak in Command.set_option().
Added Command.get_peer_option().
Added Command.move_file() wrapper.
