  Patch #1649190: Adding support for _Bool to ctypes as c_bool, by David Remahl.
........

Clarify the behaviour of PyUnicode_DecodeUTF16(): A BOM is only skipped
in native order mode, and only if it's the first two bytes.

  When accessing the .value attribute of a c_wchar_p instance, and the
  instance does not point to a valid wchar_t zero-terminated string,
  raise a ValueError.  c_char_p does this already.

  The ValueError message now contains the correct pointer address.

  Will backport to release25-maint.

Additional changes to the property sheets in PCBuild8.  Visual Studio doesn's save those when it builds, unlike the .vcproj files, so I chekced in out-of-date versions.

Undefine the Yield macro after including Python_ast.h where it may cause conflicts with winbase.h on Windows.

Complete revamp of PCBuild8 directory.  Use subdirectories for each project under the main pcbuild solution.  Now make extensive use of property sheets to simplify project configuration. x64 build fully supported, and the process for building PGO version (Profiler Guided Optimization) simplified. All projects are now present, except _ssl, which needs to be reimplemented.  Also, some of the projects that require external libraries need extra work to fully compile on x64.

  Make sure to call PyErr_NoMemory() in several places where
  PyMem_Malloc() could potentially fail.

  Will backport to the release25-maint branch.

the changes are to support multiple versions (ie, trunk and 2.5).
Also check for conflicts in the .tex file when a release is cut.

the locale changes between calls.

Add code to read from master_fd in the parent, breaking when we get an OSError
(EIO can occur on Linux) or there's no more data to read.  Without this,
test_pty.py can hang on the waitpid() because the child is blocking on the
stdout write.  This will definitely happen on Mac OS X and could potentially
happen on other platforms.  See the comment for details.

Removed obsolete comment, since .dll modules are no longer supported on windows, only .pyd.

neither documented nor intended but works in Python 2.4 under certain
conditions. This stopped working in 2.5 because struct.pack is used.
This small patch restores the old behaviour. A more solid solution is
planned for 2.6.

Fix utf-8-sig incremental decoder, which didn't recognise a BOM when the
first chunk fed to the decoder started with a BOM, but was longer than 3 bytes.

A regression from rev. 52525.
