simpler if we use fgetpos and fsetpos, rather than trying to mess with
platform-specific TELL64 alternatives.

Of course, this hasn't been tested on a 64-bit platform, so I may have
to withdraw this -- but I'm hopeful, and Trent Mick supports this
patch!

for done[n] can be integers as well as strings, but the code
concatenates them with strings (fixed by adding a str()) and calls
string.strip() on them (fixed by rearranging the logic)

(Presumably this wasn't noticed previously because parse_makefile()
was only called on Modules/Makefile, which contains no integer-valued
variables.)

Trigger keep-console-open on GUSISIOUX_STATE_UNKNOWN. Better than the previous complicated expression.

when configure detects the presence of termios.h; later we'll use this

Also, fix a bug in acconfig.h -- somebody forgot to add an undef to
cover the LIBNDBM configure symbol, which was preventing autoheader
from working properly.

This patch adds Python style index semantics to PyUnicode_Count()

funcobject.h:

    PyFunctionObject: add the func_dict slot.

funcobject.c:

    PyFunction_New(): Initialize the func_dict slot to NULL.

    func_getattr(): Rename to func_getattro() and change the
    signature.  It's more efficient to use attro methods and dig the C
    string out than it is to re-convert a C string to a PyString.

    Also, add support for getting the __dict__ (a.k.a. func_dict)
    attribute, and for getting an arbitrary function attribute.

    func_setattr(): Rename to func_setattro() and change the signature
    for the same reason.  Also add support for setting __dict__
    (a.k.a. func_dict) and any arbitrary function attribute.

    func_dealloc(): Be sure to DECREF the func_dict slot.

    func_traverse(): Be sure to traverse func_dict too.

    PyFunction_Type: make the necessary func_?etattro() changes.

classobject.c:

    instancemethod_memberlist: Add __dict__

    instancemethod_setattro(): New method to set arbitrary attributes
    on methods (really the underlying im_func).  Raise TypeError when
    the instance is bound or when you're trying to set one of the
    reserved im_* attributes.

    instancemethod_getattr(): Renamed to instancemethod_getattro()
    since that's what it really is.  Also, added support fo getting
    arbitrary attributes through the im_func.

    PyMethod_Type: Do the ?etattr{,o} dance.

Closes SF patch #103123.

Regression test for function attributes, with output file.

of `bound' vs. `unbound' and why setting an attr on a bound method is

object.

This fixes potential overflows in xrange()'s internal calculations on
64-bit platforms.  The fix is complicated because the sq_length slot
function can only return an int; we want to support
xrange(sys.maxint), which is a 64-bit quantity on most 64-bit
platforms (except Win64).  The solution is hacky but the best
possible: when the range is that long, we can use it in a for loop but
we can't ask for its length (nor can we actually iterate beyond
2**31-1, because the sq_item slot function has the same restrictions
on its arguments.  Fixing those restrictions is a project for another
day...

Its base class ValueError can be raised too, so catch that.
