resource files.  The gist of the patch is to treat ".rc" and ".mc"
files as source files; ".mc" files are compiled to ".rc" and then
".res", and ".rc" files are compiled to ".res".  Wish I knew what
all these things stood for...

recent changes to ntpath.py and posixmodule.c.  Thanks to Guido for
pointing out the inconsistency!

Added GetArgs dialog to EasyDialogs, a very nifty (if I may say so:-) way to create a unix-style sys.argv.

which implements the automatic conversion from Unicode to a string
object using the default encoding.

The new API is then put to use to have eval() and exec accept
Unicode objects as code parameter. This closes bugs #110924
and #113890.

As side-effect, the traditional C APIs PyString_Size() and
PyString_AsString() will also accept Unicode objects as
parameters.

The cause was that the replace code necessarily used a PCRE internal
function to to template expansion.

The fix changes the code to use an SRE internal if SRE is used, and a
PCRE internal if SRE is used; in a way that should work with 1.5.2.

The solution can be sped up tremendously under the assumption that the
choice between sre and pre is not changed during the execution of the
program; especially replace-all will be slow.

But I'll leave that to someone else.

"a:b", not "a:/b".  Similar change was made to posixmodule.c earlier.

    Added new test for new __contains__ method.
    Extensive editing to get rid of asserts.

Document the __contains__() method.
(Patch slightly modified by FLD.)

This closes SourceForge patch #101387.

Closes Bug #114775.

zip(None) tests.  Found by Finn Bock a while ago.

the installer.

    When reading a short, sign-extend on platforms where shorts are
    bigger than 16 bits.
    When reading a long, repair the unportable sign extension that was
    being done for 64-bit machines (it assumed that signed right shift
    sign-extends).

style conventions.  (Ping has checkin privileges but apparently
ignores them at the moment.)

Ping improves a few doc strings and fixes style violations like foo ( bar ).

An addition of my own: rearrange the printing of various items in
test() so that the (long) environment comes at the end.  This avoids
having to scroll if you want to see the current directory or command
line arguments.

Macintosh (the latter untested).

This closes Bug #110839.

(This avoids defining non-working versions of these on the Mac.)

I can't test this, so I'm just checking it in with blind faith in Andy.
I've tested that it doesn't broeak a non-Pth build on Linux.

Changes include:

- There's a --with-pth configure option.

- Instead of _GNU_PTH, we test for HAVE_PTH.

- Better signal handling.

- (The config.h.in file is regenerated in a slightly different order.)
