Doc/README is odd; it assigns some copyright to the PSF in 2000, when
I didn't think it existed...

There were never tests for the fact that list() always returns a *new*
list object, even when the argument is a list, while tuple() may
return a reference to the argument when it is a tuple.  Now there are.

This commit doesn't include the cleanup patches for stringobject.c and
unicodeobject.c which are shown separately in the patch manager.  Those
patches will be regenerated and applied in a subsequent commit, so as
to preserve a fallback position (this commit to those files).

  Include/
    osdefs.h  // EMX promotes Un*x path separators
    pyport.h

Windows: apply normcase() as well as abspath().  (Note: this isn't
needed to make IDLE work, but it's a good idea anyway.)

Bugfix candidate.

+ Updated dir() description to match actual 2.2 behavior.

+ Replaced the dir(sys) example with dir(struct), because the former
  was way out of date and is bound to change frequently, while the
  latter is stable.

+ Added a note cautioning that dir() is supplied primarily for
  convenience at an interactive prompt (hoping to discourage its
  use as the foundation of introspective code outside the core).

of the installation and at the start of deinstallation.  Output
(stdout, stderr) of the script (if any) is displayed in the last
screen at installation, or in a simple message box at deinstallation.

sys.argv[1] for the script will contain '-install' at installation
time or '-remove' at deinstallation time.

The installation script runs in an environment (embedded by the
bdist_wininst runtime) where an additional function is available as
builtin:

create_shortcut(path, description, filename,

This closes SF bug #520087.

SSL support.  test_socket.py passes again on Windows.

Added an XXX about adding _ssl exports to the __all__ list (it doesn't
appear to be doing anything about that now, but since I don't have SSL
on this box I can't really tell).

socketmodule.c.  No code outside of the .c file references it, so it
doesn't belong the .h file (at least not yet ...), and declaring it
an imported symbol in the .h file can't be made to work on Windows (it's
a cross-DLL symbol then) without substantial code rewriting.  Also
repaired the comment that goes along with the decl, to stop referring
to names and functions that haven't existed for 7 years <wink>.

socketmodule.c compiles cleanly on Windows again.  The test_socket dies
at once, though (later).
