readline doesn't have it before readline 2.2 and there's no
compile-time way to find out which readline version is in use.

Sigh.  GNU readline sucks.

Reliant UNIX.

                       into a usable filename using $ICONSERVER and
                       $IMAGE_TYPE as needed.

get_link_icon():  Function to examine a URL and return the string to use
                  to insert an icon if the link points off-site, if needed
                  and $OFF_SITE_LINK_ICON is set.

Adjusted appropriate places to use these new functions.

#115555.

The error from s_push() on stack overflow was -1, which was passed
through unchanged by push(), but not tested for by push()'s caller --
which only expected positive error codes.  Fixed by changing s_push()
to return E_NOMEM on stack overflow.  (Not quite the proper error code
either, but I can't be bothered adding a new E_STACKOVERFLOW error
code in all the right places.)

Add a note that some way of reliably detecting the use of KDE would be
really nice.

Linux distributions which provide both KDE and Gnome set this environment
variable even if the user is not using KDE.  We do *not* want to start
Konquerer if KDE is not running unless the user actually tells us to!

by default (since compiling at install time works just fine).  Details:
  - added 'compile' and 'optimize' options
  - added 'byte_compile()' method
  - changed 'get_outputs()' so it includes bytecode files
A lot of the code added is very similar to code in install_lib.py;
would be nice to factor it out further.

instruct the "install_lib" command from the command-line.

choice between (compile, no-compile) * (optimize=0, optimize=1,
optimize=2).  Details:
  - added --no-compile option to complement --compile, which has
    been there for ages
  - changed --optimize (which never worked) to a value option, which
    expects 0, 1, or 2
  - renamed 'bytecompile()' method to 'byte_compile()', and beefed
    it up to handle both 'compile' and 'optimize' options
  - fix '_bytecode_filenames()' to respect the new options

pure Python modules to compile.

                   Versions are defined for Windows and Unix; the Unix
                   flavor uses sysconf() to get the page size; this avoids
                   the use of getpagesize(), which is deprecated and
                   requires an additional library on some platforms
                   (specifically, Reliant UNIX).

is where all the FAQs about extension-building will be answered.

'util.byte_compile()'.  Currently just reproduces the existing functionality
-- doesn't use any of the fancy features in the new 'byte_compile()'.

standard 'py_compile.compile()' function.  Laundry list of features:
  - handles standard Distutils 'force', 'verbose', 'dry_run' flags
  - handles various levels of optimization: can compile directly in
    this interpreter process, or write a temporary script that is
    then executed by a new interpreter with the appropriate flags
  - can rewrite the source filename by stripping an optional prefix
    and preprending an optional base dir.

Fixed 'subst_vars()' so it actually blows up like the docstring claims
  (and fixed the docstring not to claim it handles ${var}, which it
  doesn't).

absolute pathnames; this lets it keep working in the face of chdir'ing
around.

on the module file -- could be useful for subclasses overriding it.

this will please everyone (as if that's possible).

'uname()' -- specifically NeXTSTEP.

  - added 'sub_commands' class attr
  - added 'has_*()' predicates referenced by the sub-command list
  - rewrote 'run()' so it's a trivial loop over relevant sub-commands
