Some new configuration tests and a new option, --with-wctype-functions.

'link_static_lib()'.

and saved only for posterity.

installation scheme that Fred Drake and I cooked up.  Only saved for

registry entries pointing to DevStudio).

Re-wrap the docstrings on get_python_inc() and get_python_lib() to be
closer to the "normal" Python style.  See GvR's "style guide" on the
essays page (http://www.python.org/doc/essays/).

There should never be a space between a function name and the '(' that
opens the argument list (see the style guide again).

  the platform-neutral include dir by default and with Mac support.
Added 'get_python_lib()', inspired by 'get_python_inc()'.
Rewrote 'get_config_h_filename()' and 'get_makefile_filename()'
  in terms of 'get_python_inc()' and 'get_python_lib()'.
Changed '_init_nt()' and '_init_mac()' to use 'get_python_inc()' and
  'get_python_lib()' for directory names.

Also added a Handle() function which is like Resource() but has auto-dispose on by default.

(inspired by Detlef Lannert).  Specifically,

    -k/--keyword no longer takes an optional argument to clear the
    default keywords.  Instead, use -K/--no-default-keywords to clear
    them.

    -n/--add-location also no longer takes an optional argument to set
    the comment style.  Instead, use -S/--style to set the comment
    style to GNU or Solaris.

    -o/--output can take `-' as the filename, meaning write to
    standard output.

    The inputfile name can also be `-' meaning read from standard in.

A few other changes include

    Kludge to mark the file docstring as translatable.  Since the
    marking is to place _() around the docstring, and because we
    actually have to define the _() function before we use it, this
    means that we have to manually assign to __doc__ the output of
    _().  This doesn't seem too bad because you'll only use this idiom
    when translating a script's docstring (you really don't need to
    translate most module docstrings).

    Convert everything to string methods and do not import the string
    module.

    Bump the version number to 1.1

It beeps if you try to insert or delete before the "iomark" mark.
This makes the shell less confusing for newbies.

and output windows) so that it if it doesn't succeed with the line
at the cursor, it tries the line before that.  This is handy with
tracebacks, where my natural tendency is to click in the displayed
source line rather than in the file/line indicator just above it.
Now I can indulge this tendency.

I factored out a helper and changed the error handling so that a
non-existing file is treated as if the line didn't match -- this is
handy because some function calls (e.g. "foo.bar(1)") match the grep
pattern.

PySequence_Contains() now that string objects have this code in their
tp_contains.

[Patch modified by GvR to keep the original exception.]

non-char in string.

The (relatively) new chunk module uses seek, not setpos.  One instance
of the call still needed to be fixed.

Also removed a bunch of items
