this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

This patch enables the bz2 module to build cleanly under Cygwin.

Although motived by Cygwin, this patch will prevent
test_commands from failing on Unixes that support
ACLs. For example, the following is an excerpt from
the Solaris ls manpage:

	...
	-rwxrwxrwx+ 1 smith dev 10876 May 16 9:42 part2

	The plus sign indicates that there is an ACL associated
	with the file.
	...

This patch updates regrtest.py to understand which
tests are normally skipped under Cygwin. The list of
tests was verified with the Cygwin Python maintainer.
