Building with HP's cc on HP-UX turned up a couple of problems.
_PyGILState_NoteThreadState was declared as static inconsistently.
Make it static as it's not necessary outside of this module.

Some tests failed because errno was reset to 0. (I think the tests
that failed were at least: test_fcntl and test_mailbox).
Ensure that errno doesn't change after a call to Py_END_ALLOW_THREADS.
This only affected debug builds.

Klocwork #364.

As mentioned on python-dev, reverting patch #1504333 because it introduced
an infinite loop in rev 47154.

This patch also adds a test to prevent the regression.

work otherwise.

Fixes bug #1551432 and will be backported.

This select() code is only executed with readline 2.1, or if
READLINE_CALLBACKS is defined.

Backport candidate for 2.5, 2.4, probably earlier versions too.

Fix the speed regression in inspect.py by adding another cache to speed up getmodule(). Patch #1553314

Also make sure that every exception class has __module__ set to
'exceptions'.

Facilitate cross-compilation by having binaries in separate Win32 and x64 directories.
Rationalized configs by making proper use of platforms/configurations.
Remove pythoncore_pgo project.
Add new PGIRelease and PGORelease configurations to perform Profile Guided Optimisation.
Removed I64 support, but this can be easily added by copying the x64 platform settings.

the function name was placed into a regex pattern and the unbalanced paren
caused re.compile() to report an error
