Credits go to Thomas Lamb, who wrote this as a task in the GHOP contest.

Also added a warning.warnpy3k() as convenient method for Python 3.x related deprecation warnings.

Replaced import of the 'new' module with 'types' module and added a deprecation warning to the 'new' module.

Also document a few other O_ constants that were missing from documentation.

I'm wonder why I was trying to add the filename to the node all the time. The compiling struct is more obvious.

number: now it does not store the mantissa as a tuple
of numbers, but as a string.

This avoids a lot of conversions, and achieves a
speedup of 40%. The API remains intact.

Thanks Mark Dickinson.

And yet another fix for the patch. Paul Moore has send me a note that I've missed a declaration. The additional code has moved the declaration in the middle of the block.

Backquotes still don't report the correct file. The AST nodes only contain the line number but not the file name.

The patches are adding deprecation warnings for back ticks and <>

I've finished the last task for the PCbuild9 directory today. I don't think there is much left to do. Now you can all play around with the shiny new VS 2008 and try the PGO builds. I was able to get a speed improvement of about 10% on py3k.
Have fun! :)

With some changes of my own thrown in (e.g. backport of r58107).

The Windows installer and some Linux distros are using compileall to compile all py files in the Lib/ directory. However no test exists to check if all py files can be compiled. I figured out that make testall is the easiest way to test compileall.
