The following patches (relative to 1.5.2b1) enable Python dynamic
loading to work on NetBSD platforms that use ELF (presnetly mips and

NetBSD platforms move to ELF, python will continue to work without
change.

next_argument():  Doesn't use next_argument_id(), just does the work.

gen_target(), gen_target_name():  Removed, no longer used.  The only
	place that used them now does the (trivial) work directly.


Lots of little changes so we never have to pass around $br_id values
all over the place.  The only places they're used now new IDs are
generated as needed.
