in the module of the command classes that have command-specific
help options.  This lets us keep the principle of lazily importing
the ccompiler module, and also gets away from defining non-methods
at class level.

This patch modifies the type structures of objects that
participate in GC.  The object's tp_basicsize is increased when
GC is enabled.  GC information is prefixed to the object to
maintain binary compatibility.  GC objects also define the
tp_flag Py_TPFLAGS_GC.

This patch adds the type methods traverse and clear necessary for GC
implementation.

Made codecs.open() default to 'rb' as file mode.

These two fixes were approved by me.

There's a problem with the xmllib module when used with JPython. Specifically,
the JPython re module has trouble with the () characters in strings passed into
re.compile.

I just downloaded xmllib.py ver. 0.3 from python.org and there
seems to be a slight typo:  Line 654 ("tag = self.stack[-1][0]"
in parse_endtag),  is indented one level more than it should be.
I just thought I'd let you know...

untested by me.  Apparently requires tweaking Python's installed config.h
and adding a libpython.a to build extensions.

Patch to add support for sip: (Session Initiation Protocol, RFC2543)

Simplify find code; this is a performance improvement on at least some
platforms.

Added a new debug method sys.gettotalrefcount(), which returns the total number of references on all Python objects.  This is only enabled when Py_TRACE_REFS is defined (which includes default debug builds under Windows).

Also removed a redundant cast from sys.getrefcount(), as discussed on the patches list.
