Removed gc.DEBUG_OBJECT: there is only one kind of objects.
Now gc.DEBUG_COLLECTABLE or gc.DEBUG_UNCOLLECTABLE can be used alone to print the
corresponding list of objects.

Also removed a footnote about version 2.2, and a comment explaining some deleted code.

Issue #1580: New free format floating point representation based on "Floating-Point Printer Sample Code", by Robert G. Burger. For example repr(11./5) now returns '2.2' instead of '2.2000000000000002'.

Thanks to noam for the patch! I had to modify doubledigits.c slightly to support X64 and IA64 machines on Windows. I also added the new file to the three project files.

I moved the unicode_eq to stringlib/eq.h to keep the function static and possible inline for setobject.c and dictobject.h. I also removed the unused _PyString_Eq method. If it's required in the future it can be added to eq.h

"def f(*, **kw)" now raises a SyntaxError.

It prevents the XML RPC tests from blocking until the end of the world.
I think it's a backport candidate and other modules may benefit from the feature, too.

  Several Windows related cleanups:
  * Removed a #define from pyconfig.h. The macro was already defined a few lines higher.
  * Fixed path to tix in the build_tkinter.py script
  * Changed make_buildinfo.c to use versions of unlink and strcat which are considered safe by Windows (as suggested by MvL).
  * Removed two defines from pyproject.vsprops that are no longer required. Both are defined in pyconfig.h and make_buildinfo.c doesn't use the unsafe versions any more (as suggested by MvL).
  * Added some more information about PGO and the property files to PCbuild9/readme.txt.

(a) added GC support to the PySSL object

  The macros _WIN32, _WIN64 and _M_X64 are defined by the compiler. The VS 2008 IDE doesn't know about (some) of the macros and can display wrong information. In my case a section #ifdef _WIN64 was grayed out although the platform was x64. I've added the macros to pyproject.vsprops and x64.vsprops.
  I've also added a paragraph about the property files to the readme and fixed the order of pyupdate > pyinstrument.
