This patch allows ZipFile.writestr() to be called with
an archive file name instead of a ZipInfo instance:

z = ZipFile("myarchive.zip", "w")
z.writestr("foo/baz/file.ext", data)
z.close()

I found the old writestr() method very inconvenient
for simple (but common) things.

If called with a file name instead of a ZipInfo
instance, the date_time is set to the current date/time,
which makes sense to me for anonymous data.

TARGET_API_MAC_OS8 (or !TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON) is gone. Also some
TARGET_API_MAC_OSX conditional code is gone, because it is no longer
used on OSX-only Python (only in MacPython-OS9).

Replace use of homebrew boolean with True/False.

Reflow lots more long lines.

The bug is a reference to co_first_lineno that should be
co_firstlineno.  The only other substantial change is to speed up
localtrace_count() by avoiding *costly* calls to inspect module.
It's trivial to get the filename and lineno directly from the frame.

Otherwise, delete commented out debug code and reflow very long lines.

build_ssl.py requires os.popen().

  * add oss_mixer_t and OSSMixerType
  * add newossmixerobject(), oss_mixer_dealloc(), ossopenmixer()
  * add _do_ioctl_1_internal() to support mixer ioctls
  * add mixer methods: oss_mixer_{close,fileno,channels,stereo_channels,
    rec_channels,getvol,setvol,getrecsrc,setrecsrc}()
  * add oss_mixer_methods list
  * add oss_mixer_getattr() (why?!)
  * export SOUND_MIXER_* constants from soundcard.h

_do_ioctl_1() so they take a file descriptor rather than an oss_t
pointer.

  * rename oss_t to lad_t, Ladtype to OSSType,
  * rename lad_*() methods to oss_*()
  * rename lad_methods list to oss_methods

Also some minor code polishing.

Barry agreed, and I see no reason not to.

the obvious s/linuxaudiodev/ossaudiodev/ change made.

Most of these patches are from Thomas Heller, with long lines folded
by Tim.  The change to test_descr.py is from Guido.  See the bug report.

Not a bugfix candidate -- METH_CLASS is new in 2.3.

the input string is always preserved.

and use unicode_whitespace_trans to munge them.  Still need to add a
test to make sure I've really fixed the bug.

this can result in significantly smaller files.  All classes as well as the
open function now accept an optional binary parameter, which defaults to
False for backward compatibility.  Added a small test suite, updated the
libref documentation (including documenting the exported classes and fixing
a few other nits) and added a note about the change to Misc/NEWS.

than was likely absolutely necessary.
