consistency.

  - added big comment describing possible problems
  - look for and react to versions of gcc, ld, and dlltool; mainly
    this is done by the 'get_versions()' function and the CygwinCCompiler
    and Mingw32CCompiler constructors
  - move 'check_config_h()' to end of file and defer calling it until
    we need to (ie. in the CygwinCCompiler constructor)
  - lots of changes in 'link_shared_object()' -- mostly seems to be
    library and DLL stuff, but I don't follow it entirely

in '_init_nt()' (they were kludges for CygwinCCompiler and no longer needed).

it so BCPPCompiler actually works, so I'm provisionally accepting it
-- ugly and working is better than not working!  Major changes:
  - normalize paths (apparently BC++ doesn't like slashes)
  - overhauled how we search for and specify libraries on the linker
    command-line
  - hacked up 'find_library_file()' so it knows about "debug" library
    naming convention as well as "bcpp_xxx.lib" -- the question is,
    is this a well-established and sensible convention?
Also:
  - change to use 'util.write_file()' to write the .def file

'export_symbols' can be None (not sure this is a good idea: it's inconsistent
  with every other instance attribute of Extension).

the linker leaves the (temporary) .lib file in the temporary dir.  (Moved
from 'msvc_prelink_hack()' method in build_ext.py.)

  - 'export_symbol_file' (and corresponding 'def_file' in the old
    "build info" dict) are gone; warn if we see 'def_file' in the
    dict
  - the MSVC "pre-link hack" is gone -- all that stuff is now handled
    elsewhere (eg. by using 'export_symbols', etc.)
  - add 'get_export_symbols()' and 'get_libraries()' methods -- needed
    because on Windows, both of those things are a tad more complicated
    than fetching them from the Extension instance

-- added REPEAT_ONE operator
-- added ANY_ALL operator (used to represent "(?s).")

Undo that!

-- fixed literal check in branch operator
   (this broke test_tokenize, as reported by Mark Favas)
-- added REPEAT_ONE operator (still not enabled, though)
-- added some debugging stuff (maxlevel)

-- reverted REPEAT operator to use "repeat context" strategy
   (from 0.8.X), but done right this time.
-- got rid of backtracking stack; use nested SRE_MATCH calls
   instead (should probably put it back again in 0.9.9 ;-)
-- properly reset state in scanner mode
-- don't use aggressive inlining by default

that sys.version_info will be built properly.

Modify HTTP to use delegation instead of inheritance.  The
_connection_class attribute of the class defines what class to
delegate to.  The HTTPS class is a subclass of HTTP that redefines
_connection_class.

Update docstring to reflect change of name for the parsers subpackage.

Move around the navigational links on the left-hand side of the navigation
bar to be more like the cursor keys.

Create a hyperlink between the language reference and documentation for
the built in functions.

The version there built the tags and TAGS files in the build
directory.  I like them in the source directory.  The simplest
solution is to cd to the source directory before running ctags or
etags.

Tested both superficially and they work for me, on Linux Red Hat 6.1.
