New README for BeOS R5.

This closes SourceForge patch #101779.

Script to regenerate platform-specific modules of constants.

[I moved common paths to variables for easier reading by humans. -- FLD]

This closes SourceForge patch #101781.

Added definition of VERSION so this works as expected.

Do not assume that all platforms using a MetroWorks compiler can use
POSIX threads; the assumption breaks on BeOS.  This fix only helps
for BeOS.

This closes SourceForge patch #101772.

tcp.h is not available on CygWin, so do not try to include it there.

This closes SourceForge patch #101802.

ZIP_DEFLATED description:  Do not reveal the specific value of the
      constant, since code should only use the symbolic name.

bug #113797.  We should be able to resolve this for the next release.

Reflowed the comments on Monterey (64-bit AIX) to match the flow of the
other platform-specific sections.

Canvas.CanvasItem & Canvas.Group:
- bind lacks an optional "add" param
- unbind lacks an optional "funcid" param
- tkraise/lower should call self.canvas.tag_XXXX

Note: I'm *not* fixing "bbox() return value is inconsistent with
Canvas.bbox()" -- it might break existing code.

raise ValueError.  Checked in the patch as far as it went, but also changed
all of ints, longs and floats to raise ZeroDivisionError instead when raising
0 to a negative number.  This is what 754-inspired stds require, as the "true
result" is an infinity obtained from finite operands, i.e. it's a singularity.
Also changed float pow to not be so timid about using its square-and-multiply
algorithm.  Note that what math.pow does is unrelated to what builtin pow
does, and will still vary by platform.

Remove some debugging messages - although this code is a complete hack, we dont need to announce it to the world every time they use freeze!

support for the last_is_sticky flag.  A few hard to find bugs may be
fixed by this patch since the old code was buggy.

Apparently, on SunOS 4.1.4_JL (and other?) OSes, -d on an empty string
always returns true.  This closes SF bug #115392.

This should not be used for new code, but will probably make porting
old extensions to 2.0 a lot easier.

coercion. The pointer has to be explicitly initialized in the caller to avoid
putting trash on the Python stack.

The documentation ACKS list will be maintained separately from the
CPython ACKS list.

#define'd to an unreasonable value (several recent gcc systems have
misdefined it, causing bogus overflows in integer multiplication).  Nuke
CHAR_BIT entirely.

(I had explicitly disabled it a while ago, possibly unecessarily, along with
rgbimg, audioop, and imageop, which are advertised as "not for 64-bit
platforms.)

PyLong, was used for the return value of a class __hash__ method, which
*must* return a PyInt. Solution: hash() the id(self) value.
