(a) Several tests in test_mailbox were failing because we were writing
    text to a file opened in binary mode.  Switching to text fixed these.
(b) test_unix_mbox() in each test does a wacko comparison which apparently
    no longer works due to a different way the message gets parsed.
    I disabled this, I don't think the test was testing what it thought
    it was testing.

2. Re-enable stderr redirection.

Fix a couple of tests since .body_encode()'s arguments have changed.  Also, I
think body_encode() should take a string not a byte array for consistency with
the rest of the api (but I'm not positive about this).  In
quoprimime.body_encode(), body_check() must be passed an int.

Current status: 7F (no errors!)

I had to fix a few markup issues in controlflow.rst and modules.rst.

There's a unicode issue on line 448 in introduction.rst that someone else needs to fix.

MIMEApplication() requires a bytes object for its _data, so fix the tests.

We no longer need utils._identity() or utils._bdecode().  The former isn't
used anywhere AFAICT (where's "make test's" lint? <wink>) and the latter is a
kludge that is eliminated by base64.b64encode().

Current status: 5F/5E

This repairs the linear whitespace insertion between RFC 2047 encoded words
without leaving bogus trailing spaces at the end lines that end in encoded
words.

Current status: 7F/9E

Ron Adam.

Added test case for using all parameters in string.Formatter.

Made format_spec parameter to builtin format optional, defaults to
empty string.  Added test cases.

(There's something wrong with my network right now so I can't build it.)

  This contains a number of things:

  1) Improve the documentation of the SSL module, with a fuller
     explanation of certificate usage, another reference, proper
     formatting of this and that.

  2) Fix Windows bug in ssl.py, and general bug in sslsocket.close().
     Remove some unused code from ssl.py.  Allow accept() to be called on
     sslsocket sockets.

  3) Use try-except-else in import of ssl in socket.py.  Deprecate use of
     socket.ssl().

  4) Remove use of socket.ssl() in every library module, except for
     test_socket_ssl.py and test_ssl.py.
