Added 'p' format character for Pascal string (i.e. leading length
byte).  This uses the count prefix line 's' does, except that the
count includes the length byte; i.e. '10p' takes 10 bytes packed but
has space for a length byte and 9 data bytes.

obsolete now it includes Python.h.

Make all functions K&R compatible (Sue Williams).

1. Fix bug in (de)compression objects.  The final string resize used
zst.total_out to determine the length of the string, but the
(de)compression object will output data a little bit at a time, which
means total_out is not the string size.  Fix: save original value of
total_out at the start of the call.

2. Be sure to Py_DECREF the result value if you exit with an
exception.

3. Use PyInt_FromLong instead of Py_BuildValue

4. include more constants from the zlib header file

5. Use PyErr_Format instead of using a local buffer and sprintf.

(though some type names are undefined in that case, e.g. CodeType
(inaccessible), FileType (not always accessible), and TracebackType
and FrameType (inaccessible).

To save time, only run the first and last 10 tests except in verbose mode.

Emacs and XEmacs versions should have working parse-partial-sexp's.

Sjoerd: add separate administration of temporary files created y
URLopener.retrieve() so cleanup can properly remove them.  The old
code removed everything in tempcache which was a bad idea if the user
had passed a non-temp file into it.  (I added a line to delete the
tempcache in cleanup() -- it still seems to make sense.)

Jack: in basejoin(), interpret relative paths starting in "../".  This
is necessary if the server uses symbolic links.

lib/site-python to the path (if they exist).  This is a reasonable
compromise.

just recommending it).  At Mark Hammond's request.

- use the DLL versions of the C runtime (!)
- change path settings so intermediate files go to Debug/temp or Release/temp
- add resource file to python15.dll (can't remember what this does)
- add a separate project to build the parser module

Since it only returns an error message (or NULL) there's no reason
for it to be unsigned char *, and various compilers like this better.

so it doesn't have to be on $PATH.

default since they don't work on 64-bit platforms.

copy.deepcopy() a while ago.  Can't reproduce this but it doesn't
break anything and it looks like the code could have the same problem.

dealloc() functions contained code to free/DECREF the buffer
(there were differences between I and O objects but the logic bug was
the same).  Fixed this be setting the buffer pointer to NULL and
testing for that.  (This also makes it safe to call close() more than
once.)

XXX Worry: what if you try to read() or write() once the thing is
closed?

Damn the criticism in c.l.p!

(which had UserDict/UserList) to libuserdict.tex.

a sane filename syntax.

Adding support for a new OS is now a bit more work, but I bet that
'dos' or 'nt' will cover most situations...

compatibility.
