More fixes of XDECREF'd values not initialized.

blocked in select(), this will raise select.error with errno set to
EINTR.  The except clauses correctly ignores this error, but the rest
of the logic will then call read() for all objects in select's *input*
list of read file descriptors.  Then when an object's read_handler()
is naive, it will call recv() on its socket, which will raise an
IOError, and then asyncore decides to close the socket.  To fix this,
we simply return in this case.

Backport candidate.

Needed to init ret since it was Py_XDECREF()d on error.
All regressions pass in debug build for me.

PySequence_Fast needs to do anything siginificant.

[ 633870 ] allow any seq assignment to a list slice

plus a very silly little test case of my own.

* bcppcompiler.py
  (BCPPCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
  and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
  (BCPPCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* msvccompiler.py
  (MSVCCompiler.create_static_lib): Fixed prototype, removing extra_preargs
  and extra_postargs parameters. Included target_lang parameter.
  (MSVCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* ccompiler.py
  (CCompiler): New language_map and language_order attributes, used by
  CCompiler.detect_language().

  (CCompiler.detect_language): New method, will return the language of
  a given source, or list of sources. Individual source language is
  detected using the language_map dict. When mixed sources are used,
  language_order will stablish the language precedence.

  (CCompiler.create_static_lib, CCompiler.link, CCompiler.link_executable,
   CCompiler.link_shared_object, CCompiler.link_shared_lib):
  Inlcuded target_lang parameter.

* cygwinccompiler.py
  (CygwinCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* emxccompiler.py
  (EMXCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* mwerkscompiler.py
  (MWerksCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter.

* extension.py
  (Extension.__init__): New 'language' parameter/attribute, initialized
  to None by default. If provided will overlap the automatic detection
  made by CCompiler.detect_language(), in build_ext command.

* sysconfig.py
  (customize_compiler): Check Makefile for CXX option, and also the
  environment variable CXX. Use the resulting value in the 'compiler_cxx'
  parameter of compiler.set_executables().

* unixccompiler.py
  (UnixCCompiler): Included 'compiler_cxx' in executables dict, defaulting
  to 'cc'.
  (UnixCCompiler.create_static_lib): Included target_lang parameter.
  (UnixCCompiler.link): Included target_lang parameter, and made
  linker command use compiler_cxx, if target_lang is 'c++'.

* command/build_ext.py
  (build_ext.build_extension): Pass new ext.language attribute
  to compiler.link_shared_object()'s target_lang parameter. If
  ext.language is not provided, detect language using
  compiler.detect_language(sources) instead.

* command/config.py
  (config._link): Pass already available lang parameter as target_lang
  parameter of compiler.link_executable().

angered some God somewhere.  After noticing

    >>> range(5000000)[slice(96360, None, 439)]
    []

I found that my cute test for the slice being empty failed due to
overflow.  Fixed, and added simple test (not the above!).

install-script on the command line.

Recreated after recompilation of wininst.exe.

_locale.getdefaultlocale.  Guessing a leading underscore was intended,
but don't really understood this stuff (locale looks like Spanish for
the opposite of global to me <wink>).

Prevent the lengths passed to PyString_FromStringAndSize()
from being negative in some cases.

Correct source of *strip() changes
Small rewrites.

customize_compiler() now looks at various environment variables and uses
   their values to override the configured C compiler/preprocessor/linker
   binary and flags.

Fixed the signed/unsigned confusions when dealing with files >= 2GB.
4GB is still a hard limitation of the gzip file format, though.

Testing this was a bitch on Win98SE due to frequent system freezes.  It
didn't freeze while running gzip, it kept freezing while trying to *create*
a > 2GB test file!  This wasn't Python's doing.  I don't know of a
reasonable way to test this functionality in regrtest.py, so I'm not
checking in a test case (a test case would necessarily require creating
a 2GB+ file first, using gzip to zip it, using gzip to unzip it again,
and then compare before-and-after; so >4GB free space would be required,
and a loooong time; I did all this "by hand" once).

Bugfix candidate, I guess.

\@makefntext than \@footnotetext, so we'll do that instead.

   when output is redirected to a file, compiler error messages show
   up before Distutils prints the command being invoked.

   whether the Distutils being used supports a particularly capability.

   (This idea was originally suggested by Juergen Hermann as a method
    on the Distribution class.  I think it makes more sense as a
    function in core.py, and that's what this patch implements.)

The @euro part is backported to 2.2.3.

Try to write to TESTFN, if that fails, try TESTFN in /tmp
If that fails, print a warning and go on.
Will backport.

Will backport.

Redo setting the selection and setting the beacon to deal better
with rows or columns -- these are now expressed by range (1, sys.maxint).

Joseph Winston recommends removing DYNAMIC_PATH, since it can
cause some dynamic libraries to not load on HP-UX 11.
