Run "install" the right way, by calling 'run_command()'.

with the recent change in 'get_platform()', we now have directory names

Rene Liebscher.

This will eventually evolve into a package that creates CodeWarrior projects from templates (for distutils, and possibly the standard extensions too). For now it generates a correct xml file based on sources/output/expfile, but that is about all.

Added get() and setdefault() methods to the dbm object.

Added docstrings, convert all methods to PyArg_ParseTuple() so that
error messages will have the method names.
