This is a patch for Bug 755031: If a null byte appears in
a file name, Python zipfile.py retains it, but InfoZip
terminates the name. Null bytes in file names are used
as a trick by viruses. I tested WinZip, and it also
truncates the file name at the null byte.

The patch also fixes a buglet: If a zipfile incorrectly
uses a directory separator other than '/', there was an
invalid complaint that the central directory name does
not match the file header name.

I also removed my name from the top of the file. It was
there for legal reasons which I believe no longer apply.

A change from Duncan Booth, to deal with changes in the way pgen gets

obtained from CVS).

depreciation warnings from being raised if a submodule name shadows
a builtin name.

SF bug [ 751276 ] cPickle doesn't raise error, pickle does (recursiondepth)

Most of the calls to PyErr_Clear() were intended to catch & clear an
attribute error and try something different.  Guard all those cases
with a PyErr_ExceptionMatches() and fail if some other error
occurred.  The other error is likely a bug in the user code.

This is basically the C equivalent of changing "except:" to
"except AttributeError:"

use configure -C. All this lets us keep build directories, which
graeatly speeds up the process of debugging installers.
