The final piece of this change...

   Strip down Setup.config.in and Setup.dist to the minimal sets required
       to get a working Python; setup.py will handle the rest

builds during which he forgot to uncomment crucial library lines in
Setup, walks into Guido's East End nightclub with a tactical nuclear
weapon on his shoulder.  Said nuclear weapon is promptly deployed
exactly where it will do the most good, right in the middle of
configure.in.

With this patch, the set of libraries autoconfigured in is extended to
include ndbm, gdbm, and crypt.  This essentially eliminates any need to
tweak Setup for a normal Linux build.

of dbmmodule dynamically by default (otherwise it can pull in
dependencies with libdb that croak pybsddb3).  This change moves the
Setup line for dbmmodule to Setup.config.in.

xreadlines inserted themselves inbetween the two) and clarify that the
normal socket module should be commented out. (Someone also suggested the
latter on c.l.py some time ago, I forget who, sorry.)

curses and readline (for Linux, at least).

These are done as shared libraries by default, and so is bsddb -- that
seems to make the most sense.

This closes SourceForge bug #116850.

changed so that this is no longer needed on the only platform this is
known to have been needed on.

Fixed on indentation-related consistency nit.

this effect.

This address one aspect of SourceForge bug #113797.

Update the build structures to automatically detect the presence of BSD db,
including the proper name of the header file to include.  Has all the
expected niceties associated with yet-more-configure-options.  ;)

This checkin includes changes for non-generated files only; subsequent
checkin will catch those.

This is part of SourceForge patch #101272.

Added new ucnhash module by Bill Tutt.

(The SourceForge admins have been asked to rename the ,v file.)

The locale module is turned on per default.

standard exceptions.

    The Setup.in entry is sort of a lie; it links with -lexpat, but
    Expat's Makefile doesn't actually build a libexpat.a.  I'll send
    Expat's author a patch to do that; if he doesn't accept it, this
    rule will have to list Expat's object files (ick!), or have a
    comment explaining how to build a .a file.

(Needs testing on Win32.)

This patch fixes 3 small problems.
1) If a map is used which is generated with 'makedbm -a',
   the trailing '\0' is now handled correctely.
2) The nis.maps() function skipped the first map in the output list.
3) The library '-lnsl' is added in Setup.in (needed on Linux glibc2 and
   Solaris systems. Maybe on other systems too?)

[I note that this still doesn't work when you are using NIS+ --GvR]

Brian E Gallew, which were improved and adapted to OpenSSL 0.9.4 by
Laszlo Kovacs of HP.  Both have kindly given permission to include
the patches in the Python distribution.  Final formatting by GvR.

Fix comments about zlib version and URL.

The test code is now accessed as a package.

/usr/local/include comes before /usr/X11R1/include.  On some Linux
distributions the latter apparently contains (standard!) a bad tcl.h
or tk.h.

(The GLHACK variable isn't really needed since the change to
glmodule.c, but I'm too busy to remove it.  It's harmless.)

the compilation flags for the gl, fl and fm modules.  This avoids a
name conflict with the curses module (both gl and curses have an entry
point called 'clear').
