to find its way to sys.modules yet and if so, remember it.

Bug fix candidate.

Fixes for three related bugs, including errors that caused a script to
be ignored without printing an error message.  The key problem was a bad
interaction between syntax warnings and syntax errors.  If an
exception was already set when a warning was issued, the warning could
clobber the exception.

The PyErr_Occurred() check in issue_warning() isn't entirely
satisfying (the caller should know whether there was already an
error), but a better solution isn't immediately obvious.

- separate the building of the core from the wrapper executables and the
  external modules (.PYDs), based on the Py_BUILD_CORE define;

- clean up the generated import library definiton (.DEF file) to remove
  references to a number of non-static symbols that aren't part of the
  Python API and which shouldn't be exported by the core DLL;

- compile the release build with -fomit-frame-pointer, for a small
  performance gain;

- make "make clean" remove byte compiled Python library files.

Needs to be backported to both IDLE and IDLEFORK.
