note that this applies starting in Python 2.3.

The !PyType_Check(base) check snuck in as part of rev 2.215, but was
unrelated to the SF patch that is mentioned in the checkin comment.
The test is currently unnecessary because base is set to the return
value of best_bases(), which returns a type or NULL.

- added missing period
- added markup so it's easier to tell which names are special

- more clean up of the generated import library definiton (.DEF file)
  following checking of patch 770521, and tightening of the sed regexps.

- use -O3 even with gcc 2.8.1 - worth nearly 10% with 2.3; worth
  nothing with 2.2.x.

- clean up a couple of whitespace issues introduced by a cut'n'paste.

functions, it exposed a bug in the difflib doctests.

Note, these tests were not getting exercised because
doctest skips over private functions.

Bug fix candidate.

Fixes for three related bugs, including errors that caused a script to
be ignored without printing an error message.  The key problem was a bad
