(except for : and volume:, where they are needed).

- Don't call both AC_CHECK_FUNCS and AC_REPLACE_FUNC for 'hypot', as the
latter already does everything the former does (because it's implemented as
a call to the former.)

- Don't call AC_CHECK_FUNC() without any 'action' clauses or with an action
clause that just defines HAVE_<function>. Instead, call AC_CHECK_FUNCS,
which defines 'HAVE_<function>' of itself, possibly with aditional 'action'
clauses.

No checks are removed by this patch, only moved around, and some duplicates
are removed.

-32768..65535 is acceptable. Added B specifier (with values from
-128..255). No L added (which would have completed the set) because l
already accepts any value (and the letter L is taken for quadwords).

this doesn't help for 1.5 vs. 1.6; but it will help for 1.6 vs. 2.0.

Honesty's the best policy.

mark the test as 'skipped', rather than 'failed'.

at all (my computer doesn't have a Sound Blaster), this doesn't mean
there's a bug in linuxaudiodev. The only error the test suite skips
is currently ImportError -- so that's what we raise. If you see a problem
with this patch, say so and I'll retract. If you think raising an ImportError
sucks, you're right -- but I ain't gonna buy a SB and I sure ain't gonna
let the test-suite fail on my machine.

the Python Unicode implementation.

The internal buffer used for implementing the buffer protocol
is renamed to defenc to make this change visible. It now holds the
default encoded version of the Unicode object and is calculated
on demand (NULL otherwise).

Since the default encoding defaults to ASCII, this will mean that
Unicode objects which hold non-ASCII characters will no longer
work on C APIs using the "s" or "t" parser markers. C APIs must now
explicitly provide Unicode support via the "u", "U" or "es"/"es#"
parser markers in order to work with non-ASCII Unicode strings.

(Note: this patch will also have to be applied to the 1.6 branch
 of the CVS tree.)
