Re-wrap the docstrings on get_python_inc() and get_python_lib() to be
closer to the "normal" Python style.  See GvR's "style guide" on the
essays page (http://www.python.org/doc/essays/).

There should never be a space between a function name and the '(' that
opens the argument list (see the style guide again).

  the platform-neutral include dir by default and with Mac support.
Added 'get_python_lib()', inspired by 'get_python_inc()'.
Rewrote 'get_config_h_filename()' and 'get_makefile_filename()'
  in terms of 'get_python_inc()' and 'get_python_lib()'.
Changed '_init_nt()' and '_init_mac()' to use 'get_python_inc()' and
  'get_python_lib()' for directory names.

Also added a Handle() function which is like Resource() but has auto-dispose on by default.

(inspired by Detlef Lannert).  Specifically,

    -k/--keyword no longer takes an optional argument to clear the
    default keywords.  Instead, use -K/--no-default-keywords to clear
    them.

    -n/--add-location also no longer takes an optional argument to set
    the comment style.  Instead, use -S/--style to set the comment
    style to GNU or Solaris.

    -o/--output can take `-' as the filename, meaning write to
    standard output.

    The inputfile name can also be `-' meaning read from standard in.

A few other changes include

    Kludge to mark the file docstring as translatable.  Since the
    marking is to place _() around the docstring, and because we
    actually have to define the _() function before we use it, this
    means that we have to manually assign to __doc__ the output of
    _().  This doesn't seem too bad because you'll only use this idiom
    when translating a script's docstring (you really don't need to
    translate most module docstrings).

    Convert everything to string methods and do not import the string
    module.

    Bump the version number to 1.1
