get PEP-252 style objects in stead of old-fashioned objects.
In stead of defining a GetattrHook you declare a class variable getsetlist,
which contains tuples (name, getcode, setcode, docstring).
Only lightly tested: the code still works if you don't inherit PEP252Mixin
and the code works if you inherit it but don't define any getters
or setters. Also, this will not work together with the "poor mans inheritance"
offered by method chains, so the CF module will remain with old-style
objects until PEP253 is supported too.

externally visible difference is that the factory defaults are
now in a plist file in the bundle, in stead of being hard-coded in
the application.

whether they crash or not is not a matter of using a framework or not,
but whether the code is run from an app bundle or not. And that it
_can_ crash (instead of tracing back) is Apple's bug anyway, not ours.

guarantee abs(x%y) < abs(y) in all cases when a float is involved.
math.fmod() should, though, so noted that too.

Bugfix candidate.  Someone should check the LaTeX here first, though.

data it needs doesn't exist in the project.  If it's a huge file,
maybe the test should be changed to be one of the -u thingies.

both have a nb_remainer slot.

whether this is a correct thing to do:

+ There are linker warnings (see PCbuild\readme.txt).
+ test_bsddb passes, in both release and debug builds now.
+ test_bsddb3 has several failures, but it did before too.

Also made pythoncore a dependency of the _bsddb project, updated
build instructions, added database conversion XXX to NEWS, and fiddled
the Windows installer accordingly.
