nor a separate paragraph.

Clarified (hopefully :-) the documentation of elements and attributes
variables.

Fix leaking of instances by removing the elements variable that we
created on closing the parser.  The elements variable is now created
in the reset() method, so that the sequence close(); reset();
... works.
Also, add the name of the entity reference that wasn't found to the
error message.

was appended to a list.  Lists are reference count neutral, so the
string must be DECREF'd.  Also added some checks for the return value
of PyList_Append().

Note: there are still some memory problems reported by Purify (I get
two Array Bounds Reads still and an Unitialized Memory Read).  Also,
in scanning the code, there appears to be some potential problems
where return values aren't checked.  To much to attack now though.

this doesn't exist everywhere, so go back to using #ifdef NeXT.

from Python 1.5.1:

If after __init__ finishes no new elements variable was created, this
patch will search the instance's namespace for all attributes whose
name start with start_ or end_ and put their value in a new elements
instance variable.

- applet built by BuildIDE (contains all IDE modules)

Fixed two typo's (Plugins -> PlugIns) and added some explicit path munging to allow the script to also work from the Scripts folder. Somehow either of these fixes solved a problem where it suddenly refused to make a PythonCore alias in the Extensions folder. -- jvr
